Materials
Our jewelry is water-resistant and sweat-resistant, heat resistant, and built to be worn every day — no taking it off.
The chain and the charm frames are 316L stainless steel, a durable, corrosion-resistant grade — no brass or copper to turn your skin green.
The gold-tone colour on the steel is applied by physical vapor deposition (PVD) — bonded, not plated, so it won’t flake. The coloured beads are hand-applied enamel and the charm inlays are natural stone; both are more delicate than the steel and can chip if knocked hard.
The two layers
Worn together, two lengths:
The enamel strand — small hand-applied multicolour enamel beads on a fine cord, sitting high like a short necklace.
The charm chain — a longer gold-tone chain carrying a 1.6 cm seahorse pendant plus a small shell, a drop and a natural-stone charm, hanging just below.
Each has its own lobster clasp — wear them layered or one at a time.
Care
The steel is made for daily wear — shower and swim in it. Treat the enamel beads and stone charms a little gentler: take the piece off before the gym or anything that knocks it around, and don’t use chemical jewelry cleaners on the enamel.
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.

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. Free 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.
