Anti Tarnish Chain for Daily Use – Silver Dolphin Pendant Necklace

A dolphin caught mid-leap, its body polished to a high shine and its tail set with tiny zircons. Hung on a fine snake chain, it is small, cheerful and built to be worn constantly — which is the point of an anti tarnish chain for daily use. The 316L stainless steel core with silver-tone PVD survives sweat, showers, sunscreen and salt water without dulling or leaving marks on your skin.

Why you will actually wear this one

• Made for every single day. No taking it off before a shower, a workout or a swim — that is the entire design brief.
• Zircon-set tail. A row of tiny pavé stones on the fluke that catch light as the pendant moves.
• 316L steel with silver-tone PVD. Will not tarnish, fade, or turn skin green.
• Sensitive-skin safe. Nickel-safe and hypoallergenic — fine for children and teens too.
• Lightweight. Around 5 g in total, so you genuinely forget it is on.
• Adjustable chain. 45 cm plus a 5 cm extender to suit any neckline.

Product details

What "anti-tarnish" actually means here

Most fashion chains fade because the base metal is brass or copper — it reacts with sweat, water and air, then turns your neck green. This necklace is built the other way round. The core is 316L surgical-grade stainless steel, the same grade used in medical instruments, and the colour is bonded on with PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) — a vacuum process that fuses the plating to the metal instead of sitting on top of it like ordinary electroplating.

The result: no black marks on your skin, no green stains, no dull patches after a month. It stays the way you bought it.

How to style it

It sits happily on its own at collarbone height with a tee and jeans. For a softer look, wear it slightly longer on the extender so the dolphin sits centred on a scoop neckline.

A first grown-up necklace

Dolphins are the safest possible gift for a niece, a daughter or a friend who loves the sea — playful without being childish. And because it is nickel-safe and waterproof, it works for younger wearers who will not remember to take it off before swimming.

Care instructions

• Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wearing — that is genuinely all it needs.
• Perfume, deodorant and hairspray first, jewellery last.
• Safe in water, but avoid soaking it in chlorinated pool water for long hours.
• Store in the pouch it arrives in so the chain does not tangle.
• No polishing, no dipping, no annual re-plating. Ever.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really okay to wear every day, including in water?
Yes. That is what it is built for. 316L stainless steel with a PVD finish is corrosion-resistant and does not react with sweat or water.

Will the zircon stones fall out?
The stones are set into recessed pavé cups rather than glued on the surface, so they hold well through normal daily wear.

Is it suitable for a child or teenager?
Yes — it is nickel-safe, lightweight and small in scale. Adult supervision is sensible for very young children, as with any necklace.

Does the silver colour rub off?
No. PVD bonds the finish to the steel at a molecular level. It does not flake or wear off the way ordinary electroplating does.
