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.
Choose which type of metal you would like your necklace to be made from. Some of your choices are yellow gold, white gold, silver, platinum, and stainless steel. The prices will vary depending on what metal you prefer. The purer the gold is the higher the carat will be, which will also increase it’s value. The purest gold is 24k.

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.
Consider what size of necklace you want to buy. Do you want something very thick? Or perhaps you prefer a thinner chain that you can hang a pendant on. The length and width that you select will affect the cost. The thicker and longer the necklace the more expensive it will be.
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. [I:http://www.idahoagbell.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IgorPauer19.jpg]
You might like to add to your ensemble by buying additional accessories. A matching bracelet looks great, or perhaps a delicate watch to compliment your choice. Earrings are nice too, but don’t get something that will draw the eye away from the necklace.
To make your snake chains unique, you could buy a charm to wear on it. A charm is a great way to set yourself apart from others. Anything from your birthstone to a solitaire diamond looks great. You could go with a modern geometric shape or with something more traditional like a cross. The possibilities are endless when it comes to charms!
