A truly incredible wrapping snake necklace, with a head that doubles as a clasp! the spring-loaded snake head can open its mouth to clasp its own tail, meaning this is an adjustable piece that can be worn short or long. This is a unique interpretation of the ouroboros, and is entirely crafted from 18k Italian gold, with two lively faceted garnets for eyes. The snake head is approximately 11.5 mm wide, and the body is 6.2 mm with a tapered tail. This entire piece weighs 24 grams and has many intricate details, from the scales of the snake to the engraving on its head. This snake measures 20" long, but due to the nature of the clasp does fit smaller.
