About Our Jewelry
Q: Is P.phoebus jewelry hypoallergenic? A: Yes. All P.phoebus pieces are nickel-free and made with skin-safe materials, making them suitable for most sensitive skin types. Our 18K gold plating over premium base metals is designed to minimize irritation.
Q: What's the difference between gold-filled and gold-plated jewelry? A: Gold-plated jewelry has a thin layer of gold applied over a base metal. Gold-filled jewelry has a much thicker layer of solid gold bonded under heat and pressure — making it more durable for everyday wear. P.phoebus uses high-quality 18K gold plating over premium base metals for our fashion jewelry collection.
Q: What metal is used in P.phoebus jewelry? A: Our pieces feature 18K gold plating over a premium base metal (brass or copper alloy). All pieces are nickel-free and hypoallergenic.
Q: Will P. Phoebus jewelry tarnish? A: With proper care, our pieces maintain their finish for a long time. Gold-plated jewelry can tarnish over time with exposure to water, sweat, and chemicals. Following our care instructions significantly extends the life of each piece.
Q: Is P.phoebus jewelry waterproof? A: We recommend removing all gold-plated jewelry before showering, swimming, or exercising. Water, chlorine, and saltwater can accelerate wear on the plating. Remove your pieces before water exposure to keep them looking their best.
Q: Are the crystals and stones real? A: Our pieces feature high-quality cubic zirconia and rhinestone crystals — not natural gemstones. These are carefully set using pavé and bezel techniques for maximum durability and brilliance.
Care & Maintenance
Q: How do I care for my P.phoebus jewelry? A: Follow these simple steps to keep your pieces looking their best:
- Wipe with a soft dry cloth after each wear
- Store in the pouch or box provided
- Apply perfume and lotion before putting on jewelry
- Remove before showering, swimming, or exercising
- Keep pieces stored separately to avoid scratching
Q: How do I clean my jewelry? A: Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, and jewelry cleaning solutions on gold-plated pieces.
Q: How should I store my jewelry? A: Store each piece separately in the pouch or box it arrived in. This prevents tangling, scratching, and exposure to air and moisture that can accelerate tarnishing.
