Snake choker or times twisted beaded bracelet
Snake choker or times twisted beaded bracelet
Wear it close at the throat, or let it coil twice around your wrist — a supple serpent of beads ending in a gleaming metal snake's head, part talisman, part dare.
Bead-crochet, made in Ukraine: thousands of beads strung onto one continuous thread, then worked round into a cord that moves like the creature it borrows its name from. Beads, stainless-steel accents in silver or gold tone, cotton core.
Length 14–18 in, depending on the colorway.
No two identical. Arrives gift-ready.

The tale of this motif
The tale of this motif
Folk motifs carry meanings older than writing — poppies guard the home, wheat calls the harvest, birds watch over travellers.

Beads for the night side
Black glass has a long memory: Victorian mourning jewellery was strung from it, and a black-ground gerdan makes every red burn brighter. Our skulls, bats and serpents are beaded exactly like the poppies — the same seed beads, the same hands in Ukraine — only the motifs have changed.
