This is a Snake that has a 24KT Gold Plating over iron.
It Sparkles Brilliantly :)
They were created by Crystal Temptations(R) and includes 2 Large Swarovski (R) Spectra (R) Crystals, (these are the ones used most often in lighting/chandeliers). There is also 2 rhinestones for eyes.
They come with tags.
These can be used as Cake Toppers, Party Favors, Best Man Gifts, Table Top Decorations, Ornaments, Sun Catchers, Figurines put into Shadow Boxes or Curios, the uses are endless :) They each have a gold string (hanger) included in the packaging to hang as an ornament if you want.
These are dainty/smaller in size. They measure approximately: 2 1/4 inches in Length X 2 3/8 inches in Height X 2 1/4 inches Deep
The iron is melted and poured into molds, allowed to harden and then removed to go through the electroplating process. A thin layer of Chrome, Silver or 24KT Gold is applied on top, which produces a bright silver or gold appearance. It provides good abrasion and rust resistance to the base metal (iron). A Tarnish Resistant thin layer is then applied on top of the plating to maintain the color and shine. The Swarovski (R) Spectra (R) Crystals are then attached by hand to finish the piece off :)
Taking care/cleaning of your treasures: Use a soft cotton cloth to clean as needed. Avoid using any chemicals to clean them, it can affect the plating. If using them as a cake topper, do not totally immerse in water. Dampened a soft cloth and wipe off any frosting gently and then ensure you dry the area well.
