mouse tail chain
I only try to help! I have found this reference on the web:
11 mag 2008 ... catenine a canna vuota che imitano in maniera perfetta i bracciali in oro massiccio (possono esser definiti *catene a coda di topo*). ...
cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI. dll?ViewItem&item=130220057421 - 98k -
So I searched mouse tail chains and I found a lot. For example:

So mouse tail is used!
