Decoration with education!
Meet the snake whose skin is in your jewellery, and learn about "Ecdysis", the process of skin-shedding!
Simply scan the QR code on the card that comes with your pendant and watch the video to learn about our beautiful pet corn snake and how, why and when she sheds her skin.
Each wrap bracelet is handmade and contains a unique section of real, naturally-shed skin from our pet corn snake (her name is Nagini). Corn snakes, like all snakes, naturally shed their skin several times a year (the process is called "Ecdysis") so that they can get rid of the outer layer of old skin to reveal a beautiful new one underneath. It doesn't cause them any distress and the shed "skin" is simply discarded. Availability of our snake-shed jewellery is limited by the rate our snake sheds. So please be patient if stocks are low and let us know if you'd like us to let you know when your choice of colour is in stock, or if you'd like a colour that you don't currently see here.
Colours
Available in six colours (see photos), Green, Gold, Blue, Purple, Red and Copper and each comes in a velvet pouch (colour coordinated, subject to availability). Make your selection from the menu below. If you'd like a colour you don't see here, let us know, it's just possible we may be able to help.
Handmade and unique
Please note that as each one is handmade individually, there may be subtle variations from the photos. Each background is hand painted with metallic paint and the shed is captured in resin, which is carefully applied to each one to bring out the shimmer of the background with a robust finish. Each one is unique, but made with equal care and attention to detail.
