Vintage Rolled Gold Snake Necklace

Vintage base metal necklace.

This piece has been claimedOne of a kind, and this one has found its home.

Description

A vintage rolled gold snake necklace. Perfect for adding movement and texture to a stack although it's bold enough to stand alone. The snake head and tail lie next to one another at the front of the necklace and at the reverse the clasp fastens to a short length of open link chain so you can choose how snugly it fits. Rolled gold gives that warm 'old gold' look - if you prefer a brighter yellow colour to your gold, simply add Hard Gold Plating. Adjustable from 15-18 inches.
