Description

• Design: The necklace is crafted to mimic the lithe, articulated body of a snake. It features a textured gold head—often set with gemstone eyes (like emeralds or sapphires)—and a tapering tail.

• Construction: It utilizes a “Tubogas” (gaspipe) technique. This involves wrapping interlocking gold bands around an internal core, allowing the piece to be flexible, expandable, and wrap comfortably around the neck without the need for a traditional clasp.

• Aesthetic: This specific version features alternating yellow enamel (or lacquer) and gold segments, creating a bold, striped “coral snake” effect. It is a signature of mid-20th-century high-fashion jewelry, blending animalier themes with industrial flexibility.
