As the name suggests, the flat snake chain is characterised by its flat design. The closely connected chain links make them hardly recognisable at first glance. Like the round snake chain, the chain elements are arranged vertically next to each other, which creates the typical flexibility. As the links are flat here, the chain lies pleasantly against the skin and is comfortable to wear. Due to the compact arrangement of the elements, knotting is unusual and can be prevented with the help of proper storage. The name of this type of chain comes from the fact that the flexibility is reminiscent of the reptile's movements. The light refraction of the individual elements, which creates the characteristic shine, also remotely resembles the skin of a snake. Flat snake chains are usually made of silver, gold or stainless steel, which is why they can be found in different price segments. Flat snake chains are also suitable for the layering trend, in which chains of different lengths are combined with each other.
