Anti Tarnish Sun Pendant Necklace – Gold Star with Blue Stone

Eight rays of zircon-set gold radiating from a domed blue cabochon that shifts between midnight blue, teal and violet as it catches the light. This anti tarnish sun pendant necklace is the boldest piece in the range and the one people ask about. Underneath the 18K gold PVD is 316L stainless steel, so the rays stay bright and the chain never leaves a mark on your neck.

Why you will actually wear this one

• A stone that moves. The domed cabochon flashes blue, teal and violet depending on the light — it never photographs the same way twice.
• Zircon-set rays. Pavé stones run down alternating points of the star, so the whole pendant catches light from any angle.
• Anti-tarnish gold. 18K gold PVD over 316L steel. It will not fade to a coppery tone or leave green marks the way plated brass does.
• Waterproof. Shower, gym, monsoon. Rinse and wipe dry and it looks untouched.
• Sits flat. The snake chain lies smooth against the skin and does not twist the pendant sideways.
• Skin-safe. Nickel-safe, hypoallergenic surgical-grade steel.

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

This is a statement piece — let it be the only thing at your neckline. It is at its best against black, deep navy or a plain white shirt, where the blue in the stone reads clearly. Keep earrings small.

For the one who reads her horoscope out loud

Sun and star motifs carry an easy meaning — guidance, direction, finding your way back. It suits a birthday, a farewell, or anyone drawn to celestial jewellery, and the deep blue stone makes it feel far more expensive than it is.

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

What is the blue stone?
It is a polished domed cabochon with a natural-looking blue-to-teal flash. Ask us if you need the exact material specification for a gift.

Will the gold colour wear off the rays?
No. PVD bonds the finish to the steel rather than coating it, so it does not flake off the fine points the way electroplating does.

Is it too big for everyday wear?
At roughly 2.4 cm it reads as a statement piece rather than a subtle one. If you want something you can wear under a collar, the smaller pendants in this collection suit better.

Can I wear it in water?
Yes. The metal is fully waterproof. Wipe the stone dry afterwards so it keeps its shine.
