Metal Snake Necklace Ridgid

Profile picture for user AndreaMorey2

Description

I found this necklace at a elderly snake lover's yard sale about 5 years ago.  I too love snakes so I grabbed it up.  I find it a pain to wear because of its rigidity though, its not very comfortable.  The necklace is a snake, and it clasps in front by having its head go through its tail. 

I don't know what kind of metal it is made out of, I have not tried to clean it up because of this.    It seems to be hand made because of the irregularity of the scales, and the soldering of the tail?

Any info on this necklace would be appreciated, thank you.
