Name: Snake Chain | Urban Sterling
Availability: InStock

A snake chain is made up of round, wavy, metal rings joined side by side to form a flexible tube with a smooth, scaly texture like snake skin.

Snake chains, also sometimes referred to as Brazilian chains, are commonly used in conjunction with single, small pendants or as standalone chains. Unlike most chains, which are made from a series of linked rings, snake chains are built from small curved plates that are tightly woven together to create a single continuous chain without any visible breaks in it. The result is a smooth surface that remains very flexible and therefore quite comfortable for a single chain worn around the neck. The scaly texture of the resulting chain is where it gets its name from.

I’m pretty sure there’s no outfit in the world that a thin silver chain wouldn’t match. The only consideration you should make is mixing metals. When you mix gold and silver jewellery into your styling, it can look confusing and busy.

All US Co. products are made from 100% sustainably sourced precious metals. I personally guarantee the Sterling Silver I use does not cause, support or benefit unlawful conflict, or contribute to human rights abuses or breaches of international law.

This snake chain was crafted in Australia, with some parts being manufactured in Italy – my country of origin. Comes with an Urban Sterling certificate of authenticity in a wax-sealed envelope. Please let me know in the comments section of the checkout who you’d like me to address the certificate to (if its a gift).

When picking a chain length, consider how you want it to fit. If you’re a guy and especially if you have a thick neck, 45cm could be way too short for you and fit like a choker. It’ll look like this:

If you’re a girl it should have a slightly relaxed fit like this:

If you think your neck will be too thick for a 45cm chain it probably will be. Best to size up to a 60cm, especially if you want to wear it over clothes. Here’s how a 60cm looks:
