Materials
Our jewelry is water-resistant and sweat-resistant, heat resistant, and built to be worn every day — no taking it off.
We use 316L stainless steel, a durable, corrosion-resistant grade. It doesn’t rust, it doesn’t oxidise, and there is no brass or copper underneath to turn your skin green.
The gold-tone color is applied by physical vapor deposition (PVD), which bonds it to the steel instead of coating it — more durable than plating, and it won’t flake.
Pearls are real freshwater pearls. Keep them away from perfume and long soaks — they’re the one part of this piece that isn’t water-resistant.
How it’s built
Two chains, worn as one:
A curb chain layered with a paperclip chain, joined at a single OT toggle clasp — the bar-through-ring closure that sits at the centre of the collarbone, not hidden at the back. It goes on in one move.
A single baroque freshwater pearl (about 2 cm, no two alike) drops from the toggle and rests just below it. Total length sits at the collarbone.
Care
The steel chain is made for daily wear. Treat the freshwater pearl a little gentler: put the necklace on last (after perfume and lotion), take it off before the pool or a long bath, and wipe the pearl with a soft dry cloth.
To keep the color at its brightest for years: rinse with fresh water after chlorine or salt water, pat dry, and store it flat away from perfume and lotion.
Avoid harsh chemical jewelry cleaners — they’re made for plating, and this isn’t plated.
For the pearl strand: wipe with a soft dry cloth instead of rinsing, and put it on after perfume rather than before.

Built on stainless steel, not plated brass.
Most jewelry sold as "hypoallergenic" is plated brass — the plating wears through and the brass underneath is often what irritates skin. MARÉA is 316L stainless steel with a PVD-bonded color. Individual sensitivities vary: if your skin reacts within 30 days of delivery, contact support@wearmarea.com for a refund (see our refund policy).
Made to be lived in
Coffee, seawater, sunscreen, the drive home. Made to be worn every day.
Questions, answered
Can I really wear it 24/7?
Yes. Every MARÉA piece is water-resistant and made to be worn every day. Shower in it, swim in it, work out in it, sleep in it.
The only care it needs: rinse with fresh water after chlorine or salt, and store it away from perfume.
Will it turn my skin green?
Green marks usually come from copper and brass reacting with skin. MARÉA pieces are made of 316L stainless steel rather than brass, with the gold color bonded by PVD, not dipped.
I’m sensitive to nickel. Is this right for me?
We can’t promise it works for absolutely everyone — individual sensitivities vary. MARÉA pieces are 316L stainless steel.
That’s why every piece carries a 30-day reaction refund: if your skin reacts within 30 days of delivery, contact support@wearmarea.com for a refund. See our refund policy.
Is this real gold?
No, and we won’t pretend otherwise. It’s 316L stainless steel with a gold color applied by physical vapor deposition. Solid gold at these prices doesn’t exist — and solid gold isn’t what makes jewelry water-resistant.
How long does the color last?
PVD is bonded to the steel rather than sitting on top of it, so it doesn’t flake the way plating does. We back it with a 2-Year Color Guarantee: if it fades, tarnishes or discolors under normal wear, we replace the piece free. Cubic zirconia and freshwater pearls are excluded.
How fast does it ship?
Orders leave in 1–2 business days and arrive in 7–15 business days within the US. Free US shipping over $75; $4.95 under. Tracking is emailed the moment it dispatches.
What if it isn’t right?
30-day returns on unworn pieces in original packaging. Size and finish exchanges are available for 30 days: you pay return shipping and we ship the replacement at no charge. Start a return by emailing support@wearmarea.com. If your skin reacts, contact us within 30 days of delivery for a full refund — see our refund policy.
