Materials & Quick Care

At Aurina, we choose materials that stand the test of time. Each piece is crafted with care using high-quality, long-lasting metals designed to stay beautiful for years. Below is your guide to understanding our materials and how to care for them.

18K Gold Plated (3 Micrometers) 

What it is:
A thick layer of 18-karat gold applied to a durable base metal. With a plating thickness of 3 microns, it is significantly stronger and more durable than standard fashion jewelry plating.

Why you'll love it:
Plated in France using advanced techniques, this high-quality finish creates a rich gold tone with enhanced durability and long-lasting shine.

Care:
Avoid prolonged contact with water, sweat, and chemicals. Gently wipe your jewelry after wearing to help preserve its finish.

Rhodium-Plated Sterling Silver 

What it is: Sterling silver coated with a luxurious layer of rhodium — one of the rarest and most precious metals in the platinum family. Rhodium plating enhances shine and gives silver additional strength and resistance.

Why you'll love it: Rhodium-plated silver does not tarnish easily, stays bright longer than uncoated silver, and offers a sleek, high-end finish. It’s also an excellent choice for sensitive skin.

Quick Care: Simply wipe with a soft cloth. To prolong the life of the rhodium layer, avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals. Store separately to prevent scratching.
