Anti Tarnish Silver Chain with Mother of Pearl Butterfly Pendant

A butterfly cut from a single piece of white mother-of-pearl and framed in polished silver-tone steel — one solid, luminous shape rather than a cluster of small stones. On a smooth snake chain, this anti tarnish silver chain is the piece you put on in the morning and forget about until someone asks where it is from. 316L stainless steel underneath, so it keeps its shine long after plated silver would have gone dull.

Why you will actually wear this one

• One-piece shell inlay. A single cut of natural mother-of-pearl — smoother and more luminous than multi-stone settings.
• Zero maintenance. 316L stainless steel with silver-tone PVD. No polishing cloth, no tarnish, no black marks on skin.
• Water and sweat resistant. Wear it in the shower, at the gym, through a Mumbai July.
• Smooth snake chain. Sits flat, moves well, and does not snag on fine fabrics.
• Nickel-safe. Surgical-grade steel that is comfortable on sensitive skin.
• Everyday scale. Big enough to notice, small enough for the office.

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

Wear it high on a plain white shirt for work, or over a black polo neck in winter where the shell really glows. It pairs well with silver-tone hoops and a single thin bracelet—resist the urge to add more.

Small gift, long life

Butterflies signal change and new beginnings, which makes this an easy piece for a new job, a graduation, a birthday or a move. Because it is anti-tarnish and waterproof, it survives being actually worn — which is more than most gifted jewellery can say.

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

How is this different from a sterling silver necklace?
Sterling silver tarnishes and needs regular cleaning. This is stainless steel with a silver-tone PVD finish — same look, no upkeep, and it does not react with sweat.

Will the shell scratch?
Mother-of-pearl is a natural material and is softer than metal. Normal wear is fine; we would avoid storing it loose with harder stones or keys.

Is the chain strong enough for daily wear?
Yes. Snake chains in 316L steel are among the most durable everyday chains, and the lobster clasp is rated for daily use.

Does it come with a gift box?
Yes — every order ships in a jewellery box with a care card.
