Weight
Sterling silver snake chains aren’t just beautiful; they also provide an effective means of displaying pendants or beads of choice.

Tensile Strength
Dependent upon its wire size and alloy hardness, the tensile strength of a sterling silver snake chain may range anywhere between 25 – 60 lb (11.3-27.2 kg). However, this value will change with thickness; typically larger chains possess higher tensile strengths due to their larger cross section area and exposed surfaces of each link – an essential factor when assessing mechanical strength of necklace chains.
These chains, used for making bracelets, are typically constructed out of sheets of metal with links stamped out from it and connected by wire pins as shown in Figure 6. Their tensile strength depends primarily on the strength of these connecting pins – usually reaching up to 15 pounds (6.8 kilograms) when using 14 gauge (1.8mm) chains as an example; 25 gauge (3.4mm) chains tend to be far stronger.
Flexibility
Sterling silver snake chains offer one of the greatest advantages: their flexibility. Dancing and jiggling around with it can be great fun, while it showcases your beads beautifully. A couple of sterling silver beads paired with some free time could create the next best thing to a night on the town; no license necessary!

The snake chain is an eye-catching piece that features tubular curved plates connected by tightly linked links that give it more of a snake-like appearance than other chains. Flexible and stackable with other chains or embellished with pendants, snake chains can also be easily worn around necks without being tight enough. But these chains do tend to kink and require careful handling – which JTV offers at affordable prices with their extensive collection.
