FAQ

What materials are Aphana jewelry made of?

Aphana jewelry is crafted using high-quality stainless steel and finished with 18K gold plating. Our pieces are lead- and zinc-free, designed to be durable, skin-friendly, and suitable for everyday wear.

Is Aphana jewelry hypoallergenic?

Yes. Our jewelry is made with nickel-free stainless steel, making it a great choice for sensitive skin. However, individual reactions can vary.

Will the jewelry turn my skin green?

No. Because we use stainless steel as the base metal, our jewelry does not react with skin the way copper or brass-based jewelry can.

Is Aphana jewelry waterproof?

Aphana jewelry is water-resistant and designed for daily use. However, to extend the life of the gold plating, we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to water, perfumes, and chemicals.

Does the gold plating fade over time?

All gold-plated jewelry may naturally show signs of wear over time. Thanks to high-quality PVD gold plating, Aphana pieces are more resistant to fading compared to standard plating methods.

What is PVD gold plating?

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a modern plating technique that creates a durable, even, and long-lasting gold finish, with lower environmental impact than traditional electroplating.
