Your Aurina Jewelry: Materials & Quick Care

At Aurina, we believe in offering jewelry that truly lasts. We carefully select high-quality materials to ensure our pieces bring you joy for years to come. Here’s a brief guide to understanding your Aurina treasures and how to keep them beautiful.

Gold-Filled Jewelry

  • What it is: A generous layer of real gold (at least 5% of its weight) permanently bonded to a base metal. It's built for lasting durability.
  • Why you'll love it: Exceptionally tarnish-resistant, highly durable, and truly hypoallergenic. It offers the beauty of solid gold without the price, designed for everyday wear. With proper care, a gold-filled piece of jewelry can last up to 30 years.
  • Quick Care: Wipe gently with a soft cloth. While highly water-resistant, it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or chlorinated water to maintain its shine.

18K Gold Plated (3 Micrometers) Jewelry

  • What it is: A substantial, beautiful layer of 18-karat gold applied to a durable base metal – much thicker than standard plating. According to European legislation, only a plated jewel with at least 3 micrometers of gold thickness is an authentic gold-plated jewel. If well maintained, the lifespan of a 3-micrometer gold-plated jewel varies between 5 and 10 years.
  • Why you'll love it: Manufactured in France using advanced technology for super durability and a lasting shine, our 3-micrometer plating is far superior to thin, temporary platings.
  • Quick Care: Gently wipe after each wear. Limit exposure to excessive water, sweat, and chemicals to best preserve its finish.

Sterling Silver Jewelry

  • What it is: A classic, strong, and beautiful precious metal made from 92.5% pure silver.
  • Why you'll love it: Known for its timeless luster, versatility, and generally hypoallergenic nature. It can be easily restored if it naturally tarnishes over time.
  • Quick Care: Wear often. Clean with a soft polishing cloth or a dedicated silver cleaner. Store in an airtight space away from humidity.
