Brazilian Glow. Everyday Gold. Handcrafted in Brazil, this dazzling snake chain necklace is a striking blend of bold design and refined elegance. Its vibrant golden hue comes from a signature 18K gold overlay technique—an innovation by a multi-generational Italian family of artisans—applied over a lightweight brass base. Brass is the ideal foundation for gold plating: it's strong, durable, lightweight, and holds the gold finish beautifully, helping to maintain luster and wear over time. The result is a necklace that's luxuriously lustrous, water-resistant, hypoallergenic, and nickel-free—crafted to shine in every setting, from casual to elevated. The necklace features a snake chain —named for its sleek, fluid look that resembles the skin of a snake. Made from tightly linked, slightly curved plates, the chain moves smoothly and effortlessly, draping gracefully along the neckline for a polished and sophisticated finish.
