Anti-tarnish gold necklaces in stainless steel
Aferando's anti-tarnish necklaces are made of 304 stainless steel with 18K gold plating. Stainless steel resists rust and discolouration and will not turn skin green, and the gold plating gives the rich gold finish.
How to choose an anti-tarnish necklace
-

How to style gold necklaces
Wear a small pendant alone for office and college, or layer two chains of different lengths for a fuller look. A crystal pendant adds a festive touch to a kurta or saree without feeling heavy. Every piece in the anti-tarnish range shares the same 18K gold tone, so necklaces pair easily with our anti-tarnish earrings, rings and bracelets and bangles.
Necklaces for gifting
A pendant necklace is one of the easiest jewellery gifts because it needs no sizing. Orders above ₹999 ship free and include a free gift.
How to care for anti-tarnish necklaces
- Take your necklace off before bathing, swimming, the gym or sleeping.
- Apply perfume and lotion first, and put your necklace on last.
- Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing.
- Store it flat or hanging in a dry pouch so the chain does not tangle.
Frequently asked questions
What are Aferando's anti-tarnish necklaces made of?
Aferando's anti-tarnish necklaces are made of 304 stainless steel with 18K gold plating. The same material is used across the full anti-tarnish range of earrings, rings, bracelets and bangles.
Will an anti-tarnish necklace turn my skin green?
No. Aferando's anti-tarnish necklaces are made of stainless steel with 18K gold plating, and they are designed not to turn skin green or go dark with everyday wear.
Can I wear an anti-tarnish necklace every day?
Yes. Aferando's anti-tarnish necklaces are made for daily wear to work, college and outings. Taking the necklace off before bathing, swimming, the gym or sleeping helps the 18K gold plating keep its shine for longer.
Which necklace length should I choose?
For a single pendant, a chain that sits around the collarbone suits most necklines and is the easiest length to wear every day. For layering, combine two necklaces of different lengths so the pendants sit at different heights. Chain details are listed on each product page.
Is a pendant or a chain necklace better for daily wear?
A small pendant necklace is the most versatile choice for daily wear because it works with both western and Indian outfits. A plain gold chain is best if you prefer a minimal look or want a base for layering. Crystal pendants are ideal for evenings and festive occasions.
Are Aferando necklaces real gold?
Aferando necklaces are 18K gold plated over stainless steel, not solid gold. They give the look of gold jewellery at an affordable price and are made for everyday wear.
