A round snake chain is a very compact chain form in which the individual links can hardly be recognised and distinguished from each other at first glance. This is also due to the fact that the links are not arranged horizontally to each other, as is the case with typical chains, but are lined up vertically next to each other. This gives the snake chain its own flexibility. A round snake chain looks like a single piece and can also be worn with pendants. Because of the special arrangement of the links, this piece of jewellery does not get knotted as easily as other necklaces when it is stored in a jewellery box. Snake chains have a characteristic sheen that is created by the refraction of light on the numerous individual elements, which is remotely reminiscent of the skin of a snake. The flexibility of such a chain is also similar to the movements of these reptiles. High-quality snake necklaces are made of silver or gold and, in addition to being used to carry a jewellery pendant, can also be worn alone as a piece of jewellery. For this purpose, these pieces of jewellery come in a wide variety of strengths.
