Anti Tarnish Chain with Pendant – Gold Ocean Wave Necklace
Anti Tarnish Chain with Pendant – Gold Ocean Wave Necklace
A breaking wave and a rising sun, set inside an open gold circle and filled with hand-laid blue, white and yellow enamel. This anti tarnish chain with pendant is for people who miss the sea on a Tuesday. Built on 316L stainless steel with 18K gold PVD and a smooth snake chain, it handles salt water, sweat and monsoon humidity without losing a shade of colour.
Why you will actually wear this one
- Hand-laid enamel. Blue wave, white foam, yellow sun — colour set into the metal, not printed on, so it does not chip off in a week.
- Actually waterproof. Sea, pool, shower, rain. This is waterproof anti tarnish jewelry in the literal sense, not the marketing sense.
- 316L steel with 18K gold PVD. Will not tarnish, will not turn green, will not need polishing.
- Smooth snake chain. Lies flat against the skin, does not catch on hair or knitwear, and feels heavier than it looks.
- Unisex and understated. Reads as a travel keepsake rather than a fashion piece — works on anyone.
- Skin-safe. Nickel-safe and hypoallergenic, so it is fine for all-day, every-day wear.

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
Beautiful against white linen, denim and anything sea-coloured. Wear it solo on a plain tee so the enamel does the talking, or layer it under a longer chain for a relaxed, collected-over-years look.
For the one who is always planning the next trip
Surfers, divers, beach people, and anyone who counts down to their Goa trip from January. It is also a quiet memory piece — a honeymoon, a first swim, a place someone keeps going back to. Arrives gift-boxed.
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
Will the enamel chip or the colour fade?
The enamel is set into a recessed metal channel rather than painted on the surface, so it resists chipping through normal daily wear, including water exposure.
Can I wear this in the sea?
Yes. The 316L steel core and PVD finish are corrosion-resistant. Rinse with fresh water after a swim in the sea and wipe dry — that is enough.
Is the chain adjustable?
Yes, 45 cm with a 5 cm extender, so you can wear it at the collarbone or slightly lower.
Does it work for men as well?
Yes. The pendant is compact and the design is unisex — it is one of our most popular pieces with both men and women.

Frequently asked questions
Everything people ask before ordering.
Will it tarnish or leave a green mark?
No. The piece is 316L stainless steel with an anti-tarnish finish, so it will not oxidise the way plated brass does and it will not stain your skin. Everyday wear, sweat and humidity are all fine.
Can I shower or swim in it?
Yes. It is waterproof, so showers, pools and the sea are fine. Rinse with fresh water after a swim and pat it dry, and it will keep its shine longer.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
316L stainless steel is nickel-free and hypoallergenic, which makes it one of the safer choices if costume jewellery usually irritates your skin.
How do I clean it?
A soft dry cloth is enough for daily care. For a deeper clean use warm water with a drop of mild soap, then dry it fully. Skip abrasive polishes and silver dips — they are made for a different metal.
What length is the chain?
The snake chain measures 45 cm with a 5 cm extender, so it sits just below the collarbone on most people and can be shortened for a closer fit.
