Why 18k gold infused 316L stainless?
Gold plated fashion jewellery wears through to brown brass in months. This is heavy 18k gold infused into solid 316L stainless steel under vacuum, then sealed with a scratch resistant coating tested to outlast. The gold stays gold, on the chain you wear every day, through the surf, the gym and a working week.

No printer needed. Just paper, a pen and a ruler. 2 minutes.
Between sizes? Go up, not down. And remember, wrong size means an instant exchange, so you cannot really lose.

Questions, answered
Which length do I get?
Length decides where it sits. 45cm sits on the collarbone, good for stacking and smaller frames. 52cm sits clean on the chest and is right for most guys. 55cm sits a touch lower on the chest. Pick from the lengths shown on the page. Between two? Pick the spot you want it to sit.
What if the fit is wrong, or it is just not right?
Swap it. Instant exchange means the replacement ships before you post anything back, and you have 30 days for a standard exchange. You just cover the return postage. Full details on our returns page.
How fast will I get it?
We pack every weekday. Order before 11am on a weekday and it leaves the same day, with standard or express post at checkout. Shipping is free over $140.
Is it real gold?
Solid 316L stainless steel with 18k gold bonded to it under vacuum, then sealed with a scratch resistant coating. Real gold on marine grade steel, not a wash of plating over brass, so it will never leave a green mark on your skin.
Can I wear it on the tools, in the surf and at the gym?
That is what it is for. Concrete, sweat, salt water and chlorine do nothing to it. Rinse it under the tap when you are done and it looks the same on Monday. One honest rule: if your site says no jewellery on the job, that applies to steel too.
What actually comes in the box?
The necklace, a jewellery box, a suede pouch and a 1 year warranty. It arrives gift ready. No polishing cloth, because steel does not tarnish.
Will the gold wear off?
Not the way cheap plating does. The gold is bonded to the steel under vacuum, so it holds its colour through normal daily wear for years. When it does soften with age it fades evenly, it never peels. Keep it away from harsh chemicals and rinse it after the surf.
