Real shed snake skin is pressed into precious metal clay and fired, leaving the pattern of the actual scales in the fine silver product.
Oxidized and burnished for depth and contour.
An antique carnival glass bead is incorporated for it's changing colors, violet-blue-red hues. Black faceted antique seed beads 100 years old are strung on coated wire and close with a sterling silver spring clasp.
