Forged from 100% reclaimed metals, Yanapuma is so excited to share the brilliant and current creations of husband-and-wife design team Ashley & Dara of Alkemie Jewelry. Their unique work is equal parts art and accessory. 

The Long Snake Chain is a truly transformative piece, embodying the powerful medicine of the snake. The snake has long been a symbol of renewal, healing, and transformation—shedding its skin to emerge anew. It encourages the wearer to embrace change and flow through life with grace and adaptability.

This versatile design invites creative play. By gently opening the head and tail clasps, you can reimagine this piece in countless ways. Wear it as a long, elegant necklace, wrap it as a choker, or transform it into a bracelet. You can even hang charms or treasures from it to create a personalized talisman. The possibilities are endless, making this not just a piece of jewelry but a sacred adornment that evolves with you.

Shown in gold patina, a blend of copper and zinc, with no nickel, lead, or plating.

By creating new designs from existing materials in abundance, the mission is to translate something that would otherwise be landfill-bound into wearable art. These pieces are pioneers with hopes to change the jewelry industry with its social and environmentally responsible practices. Yanapuma loves working with this team as they too promote local living wages and eco-sustainable business practices.
