The pattern is actually flatter when you view it on your hand so it does not look like two ropes more like hammered flat if that makes sense. It’s more modern looking which I prefer. They pair perfectly with other pieces and help create “stacks” if you like that look.
This necklace is one of my most favorites. It is beautifully made and just the right weight. I love elephants and do much to support rescue efforts- so I wear this often and my heart feels happy!
