Men's gold snake necklaces: worn close to the neck

A snake necklace sits differently from a link chain. Its surface is smooth and continuous, so it reads as one clean line, and it looks best worn fairly short, close to the neck where it frames the collar. This page gathers our gold-tone snake necklaces, all in steel with a gold-tone plating. The angle here is the short, close fit: a medallion just under the throat, or a bare flat snake at 16" to 18". For the full snake chain guide, flat and round, every width and finish, see our men's snake chains.

With a medallion: the Archangel Michael

The Archangel Medallion Snake Chain Necklace is a round medallion with the Archangel Michael in high relief, on a smooth round snake chain. At 40 cm with a 5 cm extender, it places the medallion at the base of the neck: visible with an open shirt or right above the collar of a crewneck tee. The raised figure plays with light and shadow as you move. It comes in stainless steel with a gold-tone plating, or bare silver-tone steel.

Bare: the flat snake, worn short

The Flat Snake Chain Necklace at 16" or 18" is a close, minimal gold-tone line, close to a choker fit. In 2 or 3 mm it is subtle; in 4 or 5 mm it stays visible under a collar.

Is a short necklace right for you?

A short necklace suits a slim or average neck and an open collar. If you have a broad neck, measure first: the 40 cm medallion necklace has its 5 cm extender for that reason, and the flat snake comes in 20" if 18" feels tight. For more chains at this length, see our men's 18 inch chains.

Pair it with a matching wrist piece: the flat snake also exists as a bracelet in gold-tone.

Care

A short necklace touches the skin and the collar a lot, so the plating sees friction there first. Rinse it in clean water after the sea or the pool, and dry it. You can shower with it. Do not fold a snake chain sharply; store it flat. Every necklace has a 1-year warranty against defects and 30-day returns, and shipping is free over $60.

FAQ

Gold snake necklace FAQ

Can a snake chain hold a pendant?

A round snake chain can, which is why the Archangel medallion comes on one. A flat snake is usually worn bare.

What length is the medallion snake necklace?

40 cm with a 5 cm extender, so it adjusts from about 15.7" to 17.7" and sits at the base of the neck.

Is the gold-tone snake necklace plated?

Yes. It is steel with a gold-tone plating; the silver-tone version is bare polished steel.
