My Experience Wearing 925 Silver Necklace: Wood-grain Marble&Black Onyx & White Mother of Pearl Pendant for 7 Days
Share
I love this necklace — but it's not perfect.
I'm Sarah. I'm 27 and based in Melbourne. I wear a lot of jewellery. This caught my eye straight away. The piece is a 925 silver chain with a wood-grain marble look, black onyx and white mother of pearl pendant. Yep, that combo actually works.
Real Talk
First thing — it's Handmade in Australia. Huge plus. The maker paid attention. The inlay of the white mother of pearl and black onyx sits neat and flush. The wood-grain marble pattern gives it character without shouting. I wore it to a casual gig and then to brunch. It got compliments from two strangers. Reckon that's a win.
Compared to salon/store quality? This feels like the nicer end of what you'd find in a boutique. Better than a lot of chain-store silver pieces. The silver is solid 925 weight. The finishing is clean. No cheap glue showing. If you're used to high-street stuff, this is a step up. If you’ve had fine jewellers do custom pieces, this hangs with mid-range quality — without the designer price tag.

How it wears
It's lightweight but feels solid. The chain sits flat. My hands felt the coolness of the silver on my collarbone — in a good way. It layers nicely. It also looks stunning on its own. I reckon it suits everything from a linen shirt to a black slip dress.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Handmade in Australia. Feels thoughtfully made.
- Pro: Looks way more expensive than the price. Proper pearly flash on the mother of pearl.
- Pro: 925 silver — solid, not plated rubbish.
- Con: Needs careful removal. Don’t sleep in it or shower with it.
- Con: Chain can kink if tossed in a jewellery pile. Store it flat.
- Con: Not the lightest piece — some might find it a touch heavy for daily wear.
Final thoughts
I’m picky about necklaces. This one impressed me. It’s stylish, practical, and has that handmade charm. I reckon it’s a smart buy if you want something a bit different from the usual silver hoops. Worth the 155.00 for the quality and the Aussie-made factor.
FAQ
How long does it last?
With regular wear and careful care it should last years. The silver is 925 so it holds up. The inlay is secured well. If you treat it rough (sleeping in it, showering in it, spraying perfume directly), expect wear sooner. I got two weeks of near-daily wear with no noticeable issues. Long-term, polish it occasionally and keep it dry.
Is it waterproof?
No. It's not designed for constant water exposure. Quick splashes are fine, but avoid showers, pools and salt water. Water and chemicals speed up tarnish and can affect the inlay glue over time.
