A rare find from the glamorous 1980s, this three-strand snake chain necklace and matching bracelet set is nothing short of a statement in craftsmanship and design. Despite being nearly 45 years old, the set remains in pristine condition—its gleaming surface and silky-smooth movement make it nearly impossible to tell whether it was ever preloved, or if it lay untouched for decades, waiting to be discovered.
 
The design speaks for itself: three supple snake chains lay side by side, moving with an almost hypnotic fluidity—soft yet sturdy, slithering like a true serpent across the skin. Chunky, weighty, and substantial, the set is a testament to the quality and artistry of the old era, when jewellery was built not just to dazzle but to endure.
Necklace Measures: 37 cm long × 2.5 cm wide
Bracelet Measures: 17.5 cm long × 2.5 cm wide

Whether worn or preserved, it holds immense value for both fashion lovers and serious collectors.
 
This set doesn’t just accessorize—it tells a story. Decades have passed, but its gleam remains undimmed, ready to script new tales every time it adorns a neck and wrist.
