Starry Abalone Pendant Necklace - Ocean Hues

Volaea Starry Abalone Pendant - Iridescent Ocean Charm

Volaea brings you the Starry Abalone Pendant Necklace, a piece that catches the light like a moonlit tide. The oval abalone shell pendant shimmers with shifting ocean hues-teal, violet, and soft pink-while a delicate star-shaped detail adds a celestial touch. It's the kind of necklace you reach for when you want something that feels special but never fussy.

This pendant sits comfortably on your collarbone, with a smooth 18k gold-plated finish that stays bright through showers, workouts, and everyday wear. The 316L surgical stainless steel core is hypoallergenic with low nickel release, so it's comfortable for most sensitive skin (it's not nickel-free - 316L contains 10-14% nickel). Wear it alone for a subtle glow or layer it with other chains-it's built to be your everyday staple.

FAQ

Q: Is this necklace safe to wear in the shower or pool? Yes, it's fully waterproof. The PVD plating and stainless steel core make it resistant to water, sweat, and humidity. Rinse with fresh water after swimming in saltwater or chlorine.

Q: Will the gold plating wear off over time? No. Volaea uses PVD ion plating, which bonds to the steel core at a molecular level. It won't flake, fade, or turn your skin green-even with daily wear.

Q: Is the abalone shell real? The pendant features a natural abalone shell piece, known for its iridescent colors. Each shell is unique, so your pendant's shimmer pattern will be one of a kind.

Care note. The 18k gold-plated 316L setting is water-safe, but the abalone shell in this piece is a natural material. Take it off before showering, swimming or the gym, and wipe it dry with a soft cloth - soaking or harsh cleaners will dull the surface over time.
