When Shopping For Silver.Ag Snake Chains

By Igor Pauer


When in the market to purchase snake chains, there are some things to think about first. First consider your personal style. Do you want something very large that is sure to get a lot of attention and make a statement? Perhaps you are looking for something more low key and modest. With so many varieties available to choose from it make take some shopping around to find the perfect one for you.

One of the first things you will want to decide on is what type of material the necklace will be made from. There are many types of gold to consider like white gold or yellow gold. Then you can consider the carat. There is the purest form which is 24k, or 22k, 18k, 14k, and 10k. The higher the carat the more valuable the gold is. That also means the more expensive!



You may also like silver, white gold, or platinum. These look especially striking against black clothing but can be worn with just about anything. Be prepared to spend quite a bit more on platinum and also white gold. In recent years white gold has become much more popular which in turn raises the price. Platinum is quite the chic choice and will also be expensive.

An important factor in your purchase is going to be the size of the necklace itself. Think about what length you will want. A typical chain is 18 inches, but depending on your size and your style, you may want something shorter or longer. The length will affect the price of course, the longer the more expensive. Also think about how thick you want it to be. Thinner appears more elegant whereas a thicker version is more modern and fun.

You can expect to pay about three hundred dollars for an eighteen inch necklace in eighteen carat gold. The type of clasp is also important. You want a sturdier variety such as a lobster clasp. It gets it's name from how it looks, just like a lobster claw! It's easier to hook in place and is not likely to break.



You may want to consider buying an accompanying bracelet to go with your necklace. It looks best to stay with the snake style, which is basically a continuous coil design. Try and get the same width bracelet for a nice continuity to your ensemble.

Snake Chains can be worn alone or with a pendant. A pendant is a good way to show your personal style or a particular affiliation. Crosses, hearts, and precious gemstones are popular choices. Pendants can also be interchangeable, so you can constantly update your style with ease.
