Vintage Snakeskin & Sterling Silver Torque Necklace · Tribal Style Collar

A striking vintage torque-style necklace featuring genuine snakeskin wrapped around a rigid collar form, accented with smooth sterling silver elements.

The natural snakeskin displays a warm, earthy pattern with subtle tonal variation, contrasted by polished silver terminals and spacers that give the piece a clean, structured finish. The curved silhouette sits comfortably along the neckline, creating a bold yet refined statement.

The design carries a strong tribal and Southwest-inspired aesthetic, while remaining minimal and modern in execution.

Stamped “TV-100,” likely indicating a studio or maker mark rather than a known commercial brand.
A unique mixed-material piece with strong visual texture and presence.
