Wade Malachite Necklace

Why the Wade Malachite Necklace Is Your New Daily Essential

Volaea designed the Wade Malachite Necklace for the woman who wants natural texture without the fuss. The genuine malachite stone - with its signature rich green swirls - sits in a rounded square setting that catches light from every angle. It’s bold but not heavy, modern but not cold. And because it’s built on our waterproof, tarnish-free 18k gold plated stainless steel, you can wear it in the shower, at the gym, or at the beach without a second thought.

This isn’t a necklace you take off before bed or before washing your hands. The 316L surgical-grade steel core and PVD ion plating mean it stays bright and smooth through real life - no flaking, no fading, no green marks on your skin. The 16-inch chain with a 2-inch extender lets you dial in the perfect length, whether you’re layering it with other pendants or wearing it solo as a conversation starter.

FAQ

Q: Is the Wade Malachite Necklace really waterproof? Yes. The 316L stainless steel core and PVD plating make it safe for showering, swimming, and sweating. Rinse with fresh water after ocean or pool use to keep the malachite looking its best.

Q: Will the gold plating wear off or turn my skin green? No. Volaea uses PVD ion plating, which bonds the 18k gold layer to the steel at a molecular level. It won’t flake, fade, or turn your skin green - even with daily wear.

Q: Can I wear this every day, including while sleeping or working out? Absolutely. The Wade Malachite Necklace is designed for all-day, everyday wear. The 13mm pendant is lightweight enough to sleep in, and the waterproof build handles sweat and showers without damage.

Care note. The 18k gold-plated 316L setting is water-safe, but the malachite 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.
