FAQ's

At Banavilla, we craft our pieces using premium-grade titanium steel—a highly durable fusion that combines the incredible strength and corrosion resistance of marine-grade 316L stainless steel with the hypoallergenic benefits of titanium. This blend provides a luxury aesthetic, featherlight feel, and lifetime durability that can withstand the elements.

No. Our gold jewelry utilizes an advanced technique called PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating. Instead of a standard, thin gold plating that quickly wears away, PVD bonds a thick layer of real 18k gold to the titanium steel core at a molecular level. This creates an incredibly resilient finish that is 10 times more durable than traditional plating, actively resisting scratches, fading, and tarnishing.

Yes, completely. Our titanium steel is 100% hypoallergenic and biocompatible. We formulate our pieces to be entirely free of nickel, lead, and copper—the common metals responsible for skin allergies and irritation. If you have sensitive skin, you can wear our jewelry comfortably all day long.

Yes! Banavilla jewelry is specifically engineered for a sun-drenched, carefree lifestyle. Titanium steel does not rust, oxidize, or degrade when exposed to water, sweat, or humidity. You can confidently wear your favorite pieces while swimming at the beach, working out, or showering.

Never. Skin discoloration (the classic "green mark") happens when cheap base metals like brass or copper react with skin oils, lotions, or moisture. Because Banavilla pieces are made from premium non-reactive titanium steel and high-purity 18k gold PVD, they will never discolor your skin.

While our pieces are fully waterproof, salt water and pool chlorine are naturally abrasive and can leave a dulling film over time.

The Golden Rule for Coastal Care: After swimming in the ocean or a pool, simply rinse your jewelry under fresh, clean tap water and pat it dry with a soft cloth. This quickly removes salt deposits and chemical residues, keeping your jewelry sparkling like new.

Keeping your jewelry clean is incredibly simple:

1. Mix a few drops of mild, gentle soap in a bowl of warm water.

2. Submerge your jewelry and let it soak for 2–3 minutes.

3. Gently wipe the surface with a soft microfiber cloth to remove any built-up lotions or sunscreens.

4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat completely dry.
