Description
A 14/20 yellow gold-filled snake chain in a 1.5mm width and 18-inch length, polished to a smooth mirror finish and secured with a lobster clasp.
Gold filled is a layered metal construction in which a thick sheet of karat gold is mechanically bonded to a brass core under heat and pressure. By U.S. standard, 14/20 gold filled contains a layer of 14K gold equal to at least 1/20th of the total weight — substantially more gold than plated alternatives, and durable enough to resist tarnishing and wear with everyday use. Snake chains, named for their smooth, scale-like links, are among the most flexible and fluid chain styles, with a rounded profile that drapes evenly against the skin.
The 1.5mm width reads as delicate, ideal for solo wear at the collarbone or as a base layer beneath longer chains. The 18-inch length sits at the standard princess length, suited to most necklines. It suits a buyer who wants the look of fine yellow gold in a chain made for daily wear.

What affects the price of snake chains?
Metal, width, and length set the price most. Sterling silver and stainless steel differ from 10K or 14K gold, and solid gold costs more than gold-filled or gold-plated. Wider and longer chains use more metal, and diamond-cut styles add detail. Use the Price filter on this page to set a budget.
Which snake chain styles are most popular?
Stainless steel and sterling silver styles lead the list. Flat and square stainless steel snake chains come first, followed by sterling silver chains in 3mm, 2.5mm, and finer widths. Fine 10K and 14K white gold snake chains also appear near the top. Browse sterling silver chains for more.
What width of snake chain should I choose for a pendant?
Choose a fine width, about 0.6mm to 1.5mm, for pendants. Thin snake chains are smooth and slide easily through a pendant bail. Chains from 2mm up to the wider flat and oval styles are better worn alone, where the chain itself is the focus.
Can I wear a snake chain every day?
Yes, a snake chain suits daily wear. Its smooth, flexible surface lies flat against the skin. Stainless steel and solid gold hold up well, while very fine chains need gentle handling to avoid kinks. See our jewelry care tips for storage advice.
What is the difference between round, square, and octagonal snake chains?
The difference is the chain's cross-section and how it catches light. Round snake chains look the smoothest and most fluid. Square and octagonal styles have flat faces that reflect more light, and diamond-cut versions sparkle more. Flat and oval styles look wider and bolder.
