FAQ's

Instead of cheap metal that breaks or changes color, we use premium-grade stainless steel wrapped in a special layer of real 18k gold using a high-tech bonding method called PVD coating. Think of it like an invisible, super-tough shield fused onto the metal at a molecular level so it won't scratch or fade easily!

No, it won't! Because our PVD coating fuses the gold to the stainless steel core at a molecular level, it is way stronger than regular gold plating. It actively fights off scratches, fading, and tarnishing even when you wear it every single day.

Yes, 100%! Our pieces are completely hypoallergenic, meaning they are free of nasty metals like nickel, lead, and copper. You can finally say goodbye to itchy breakouts, sore earlobes, and green skin.

Yes, absolutely! Banavilla jewelry is 100% waterproof. You can wear your pieces in the shower or dive right into the ocean. However, if you dive into the ocean or swim in chlorinated pools, we do recommend giving your jewelry a quick rinse under fresh tap water and patting it dry right after to keep the gold shine pristine over time.

Yes, 100%! Our jewelry is rigorously tested and certified to be completely hypoallergenic (free of lead and nickel), so you can say goodbye to itchy breakouts and green skin.

No. Thanks to our high-tech PVD gold coating bonded over durable stainless steel, our finish is tarnish-free and built to handle daily wear, sun, and water without dulling.

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.
