If future generations will measure us by what we leave behind, you'll leave one stylish mark.  The same could actually be said about the slithering (but oh so elegantly patterned) snakes that inspired this polished look: lacquered oval beads of layered natural snakeskin are strung together with polished pyrite ("Fool's Gold") rectangles at back, creating a sleek, monochromatic style that even future generations would agree on.  A hammered silver toggle clasp from Thailand brings the look together at a flattering longer length of 24.5" overall.
