This bold design is a one of a kind hand-formed Brass necklace coated in real snake shed on one side, with a lovely Blue and Black patina on the other side- making it a versatile piece that's two for one! A dramatic accessory that takes "earthy" style to the next level. Dress up or down- either way you'll be wearing an adornment that will turn heads, start conversations, and delight the eye of the beholder.
What is “Snake Shed”, and how is that different than Snake SKIN? 

A snake's skin does not grow with it, so as it increases in size, it needs to shed its outer layer of scales -including the special scales that cover its eyes! Healthy snakes will shed in one continuous piece, rolling it off like a sock, emerging from their old skin shiny and new. This is Snake Shed. SnakeSKIN, on the other hand, is harvested by killing the animal like any other type of leather.

Check out Shira's Snake Therapy Youtube Channel to learn more about these amazing animals! 

The Pendent will be coated with many layers of lacquer and fixatives to prevent decay and tear. 
This piece was made using the shed from a Mexican Black Kingsnake in my collection named "Anu".

Care Instructions

The metal has been treated with lacquer and a special wax to preserve the coloration, prevent tarnishing, and prevent scratching to a certain degree. Please keep in mind that elements in the air and natural oils in your skin can eventually erode protection over time. Avoid wearing lotions and perfumes while wearing items that touch your skin directly. If the inside begins to tarnish, you can clean it, and reapply a spray lacquer. Make sure to avoid using a cleaning product or abrasives on the patinated finish, as that cannot be repaired without a refinish and reapplication of the patina. Do not swim or bathe with the jewelry on.
