Two chain maille segments are handcrafted with small Sterling silver rings assembled one at a time in the Byzantine pattern, and combined with a beautiful glass bead carefully selected from high quality artisans based in Venice, Italy. The modern square bead is lined with random Sterling silver foil patterns. This abstract design is very modern with a striking combination of cobalt blue and silver. The glass bead measures approximately 24mm / 11mm thick. The placement and colours on this glass bead are random and no two beads are ever exactly alike. Each glass bead is handcrafted and therefore unique...The Sterling silver snake chain is 16 inches/40 cm long. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like a longer chain (18 inches/45 cm long). The matching "Ocean" earrings will be the perfect companion to this beautiful necklace. For a very special gift...
