Necklaces
Necklaces that stay on from morning to night
A necklace sits against the skin all day, which in this climate means constant contact with sweat, sunscreen and perfume. Every piece here is 18K gold plated over a stainless steel core, so it handles that without discolouring. No sizing is involved, prices run from AED 95 to AED 120, and delivery is free across the UAE in 2 to 4 business days.
Choosing a chain length
Length is the only real decision with a necklace, and it depends on the neckline you wear most rather than on height or build.
| Length | Where it sits | Works with |
|---|---|---|
| Short, around 40 to 42 cm | At the base of the neck | Open collars, round necks, and layering as the top strand |
| Standard, around 45 cm | Just below the collarbone | Almost everything. The safest choice if you are unsure. |
| Longer, 50 cm and above | Mid chest | High necklines, abayas, layered looks and modest styling |
Most of our chains include an extender, so one necklace covers a range rather than a single fixed length. Each product page lists the measurement. If you want the exact drop on a specific piece before ordering, ask us on WhatsApp.
Layering without the tangle
Two chains of clearly different lengths layer cleanly. Two of similar length will sit on top of each other and twist through the day. If you want the layered look with no effort, choose a single piece that already has two or three strands on one clasp.
Mixing a plain chain with a pendant also works better than two pendants, which compete for the same space.
What is in this collection
| Style | Best for |
|---|---|
| Clover pendants | Our most requested design by a wide margin, in black, red and plain gold. A luck motif rather than a passing trend. |
| Plain chains | Daily wear and layering. The piece people wear for months without taking off. |
| Stone set pendants | Cubic zirconia solitaires and cut stones for occasions. Not diamonds, and never described as such. |
| Heart and charm pendants | Gifting, and anyone who wants the necklace to carry a meaning. |
| Geometric and lock designs | Cleaner, more modern shapes that read well with workwear. |
Wearing it every day
Showering, swimming, the gym and the sea are all fine. The one habit worth forming: apply perfume, sunscreen and body lotion first, then put the necklace on. Spraying perfume directly onto a chain is the single most common cause of a dulled finish, on jewellery at any price.
Chlorine tablets, bleach and cleaning products will damage a plated finish. Swimming in a chlorinated pool is fine. Handling the chemicals that go into it is not.
Full reasoning in our guide on showering, swimming and working out in gold plated jewellery.
Why these hold up in UAE humidity
Most affordable necklaces are built on a brass or copper alloy with a thin gold layer. The chain flexes constantly against skin, the layer wears through, and the alloy underneath reacts with sweat. That is the black tarnish and the green mark at the back of the neck.
Ours use a stainless steel core, plated with a vacuum coating process rather than a quick dip. No plated finish is permanent, ours included, but the difference through a UAE summer is significant.
Independently tested. A representative 18K gold plated stainless steel piece from our range was tested by TÜV Rheinland in Thailand, report number 242147025-03, against EU REACH standards. Lead, cadmium and nickel release were all not detected.
The report covers a representative sample rather than every individual item. Ask us on WhatsApp if you want to read it before buying.

Common questions
What length should I choose?
Around 45 cm suits almost everyone and works with most necklines. Go longer for high necklines and abayas, shorter for open collars or as the top strand in a layered look.
Can I shower and swim in it?
Yes. Water, sweat, pools and the sea are fine. Avoid chlorine tablets, bleach and cleaning products.
Will the chain mark my neck?
Green marks come from copper and brass reacting with sweat. These use a stainless steel core instead, so that reaction does not occur in the same way.
Are the stones real diamonds?
No. Stone set pendants use high grade cubic zirconia. Every listing says so, and we never describe cubic zirconia as diamond.
Can two necklaces be layered?
Yes, if the lengths are clearly different. Similar lengths will twist. A single multi-strand piece gives the same look with no tangling.
Not sure which length?
