Gold body chains, made for the water

A gold line down the torso that stays gold. Mandelina’s waterproof gold body chains are 316L stainless steel with a real, bonded gold plating — so they keep their color through a whole summer of sea, pool and sun, not just the first weekend.

Gold that lasts, not flash-plating

Most affordable “gold” jewelry is thin flash-plating on brass that rubs off in weeks. Ours is a proper gold plating bonded to surgical 316L steel — it doesn’t peel, doesn’t fade in salt water and doesn’t mark your skin.

A statement you can swim in

A gold body chain reads as a considered, put-together look — over a bikini, a slip dress or bare skin. Because it’s waterproof, it goes from the beach into the sea and on to dinner without coming off.

Reduced by design

These are minimal pieces: one clean line, no clutter. That’s what makes gold body chains easy to wear and easy to style — the chain does the work, you don’t.

Questions & answers

Does the gold on a gold-plated body chain wear off?

Not when it’s a real plating bonded to 316L steel. It resists salt water, sweat and sun cream and keeps its color — unlike thin flash-plating on brass.

Can I wear a gold body chain in the sea?

Yes. Waterproof 316L with gold plating is made for the sea, the pool and the shower. Rinse with fresh water afterwards and it stays bright.
