Stunning rare chunky Georgian sterling silver belcher style link long chain, the links alternating between two with textured dots, two smooth, two with textured dots, two smooth .. and so on. The links are silky smooth and very tactile. 
The jewel in the crown is the silver barrel clasp modelled as a coiled snake, his body wrapped around the barrel, tail at one end, head at the other, and he reaches over and holds the tail in his mouth, with a naughty smile and bobble eyes.
 
This piece is from my personal collection.
