Heavy Indian Snake Chain

I love the depths of ethnic design. Whether you want dramatic and expressive design or highly crafted minimalism, it is all there to be discovered. This Indian snake chain bends toward the latter. 

This heavy chain was likely intended as a belt, and works great as such, but is spectacular as a long, sensuous necklace. It is a smooth skein of silver with a substantial weight that feels amazing on the skin. It has a few battle wounds as you can see in the final image.

Material: Sterling silver
