This article is about the antiquity. For the achievement, see Sea-Serpent's Coil (achievement).
- Crafted with rare steel, metals from beyond Nirn, and fine-cut gems, this necklace shimmers with mystic power. When the Sorcerer-King himself commissions a piece, only the very best will do.
The Sea-Serpent's Coil is the Mythic necklace that comes with the Protective trait. It can be obtained through the Antiquities system. It was released as part of the High Isle Chapter.

- You are required to be at least level 7 in Scrying, and have the Antiquarian Insight IV passive in order to scry Master difficulty leads.
- Fragment Leads are largely found in the same zone as where the fragment is excavated, save for a few cases where it may be found in different zone.

Black Eltheric Pearls | From Giant Clams | High Isle | Oh, black pearls! According to the Bedtime Tales of Borwaeliel, they're the result of Trinimac slicing off a handful of Hermaeus Mora's beady little eyes and scattering them across the Eltheric. So, be careful handling them! — Amalien | Fairy tales aside, deep black pearls like this have fascinating origins. Some occur naturally, but most come from Maormer pearl farms where Surfpeelers insert snake scales into Pyandonean Snap-Mussels. It's an interesting—if unsettling—process. — Reginus Buca | I read a treatise on Sea Elf pearl culturing as a teenager. I had a lot of free time! Anyway, there was some debate about whether mer-made pearls had alchemical potential similar to natural pearls. Based on this discovery, I think they do! — Gabrielle Benele | |
Frigid Sapphire | Frozen Ruins | The Rift | This stone is cold to the touch! Strange, considering I don't detect any frost-related enchantments. Gems infused with mystic spellcraft sometimes turn cold. No one knows why. It must have some power over perception or natural limitations. — Gabrielle Benele | I saw a gem like this at the College of Sapiarchs once. It was part of a collection of focal relics—items that magnify perception or dampen unruly phenomena during rituals. Maybe this aids with concentration? I could use something like that! — Amalien | I'm more interested in its origins than its powers. This gem cutting technique is foreign to me. It almost looks like a lapidary tumbled it in a sand pail after the final cuts. Sea Elves favor unusual cuts. I wager this came from Pyandonea. — Verita Numida | |
Meteoric Beads | Mages Guild daily quest reward boxes | Grahtwood/Deshaan/Wayrest | Don't often see beads hewn from meteoric glass. From my experience, the arcane potential of the glass has a lot to do with its physical dimensions. Based on the holes here, I'd say they were strung on a chain or thread to make some kind of necklace. — Ugron gro-Thumog | I've never studied smaller shards of meteoric glass working in concert, but it's possible that stringing these beads together on a magical conductor—an enchanted chain, for instance—they might exhibit power comparable to a larger, intact shard! — Gabrielle Benele | If meteoric beads like this have real magical potential, it's strange that you don't see more mages wearing them. I discovered a bead like this in a Sea Elf wreck near Vulkhel Guard. Maybe the Pyandoneans are the only ones who've mastered the craft. — Verita Numida | |
Sea Silver Chain | Jewelry Survey Reports | Any Zone | What a delicate piece! Crafting links this small would be a laborious process, but the results speak for themselves. It's certainly Elven. Maormer, I should think, based on the pattern and the bluish hue of the silver. — Reginus Buca | You're right, Reginus. This is Sea Elf work. According to legend, King Orgnum was the first person on Tamriel to work in silver. He drew it out of the ground like splinters from a wound. Strange, given that he's a creepy vampire wizard! — Amalien | The chain's enchantments are extraordinary! They seem bound to the concept of focus at the expense of potential outcomes. Not unlike Psijic time-hewing. Paring down choice is a dangerous prospect, but there must be some utility to it. — Gabrielle Benele | |
Steel Serpent Fangs | Serpent Bog world boss | High Isle | These bits of metal seem forged to resemble snake fangs. Never a good sign. I can't say for certain, but given the irregular finish and these scratches, I'd say they're a few hundred years old at least. Mid to late 1E, for certain.. — Gabrielle Benele' | I've seen adornments like this before--far too many times. They're Sea Elf charms. Sailors wear them on ankle bracelets, necklaces, and earrings in honor of their disgusting snake-king, Orgnum. Fair warning: They're almost certainly cursed! — Amalien | These are of Sea Elf make, but they're not like the trinkets that pirates wear now. See this banding? This is venom-crucible steel. Sea Elves stopped making it due to the cost of the materials. It's a wicked kind of metal, but still, masterful work. — Ugron gro-Thumog |
