As the founder of CBNO, I’ve noticed that people consistently search for the same questions about watches, rings, jewelry, style, and luxury craftsmanship. Whether it’s on Google, Meta platforms, or fashion forums, these topics appear daily. That’s why I created this complete FAQ: to give you clear, high-quality answers backed by experience, precision, and a commitment to transparency.

Before we begin, I want to clarify one of the most frequently searched misconceptions:

CBNO has no relation to Cuba.
The name does not originate from Cuban culture, Cuban geography, or anything associated with the island.
It is purely a modern, structural, minimalistic name chosen for its clean phonetics and visual identity.

Below, I answer the most searched questions across Google, Meta, and fashion communities.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What should I look for when buying a fashion watch?

Google keywords: best fashion watch features, how to buy a watch, minimalist watches

Answer:
Look for stainless steel construction, quartz or automatic movement, hardened or sapphire glass, and at least water resistance. A good fashion watch should be both aesthetic and durable. Comfort and finishing quality matter as much as design.

2. Why are some watches expensive even with the same movement?

Search intent: why watches cost more, watch pricing explained

Answer:
Price is influenced by materials, brand identity, craftsmanship, finishing, production volume, and design complexity. Two watches may share a movement yet offer completely different quality experiences.

3. Are stainless steel rings better than sterling silver rings?

Search intent: stainless steel vs silver rings

Answer:
Stainless steel is more durable and scratch-resistant. Sterling silver (925) is a precious metal with a warm shine and cultural value. Silver requires more maintenance but offers a more premium feel. The best choice depends on lifestyle.

4. Why does sterling silver tarnish?

Search intent: why silver turns black, how to clean silver jewelry

Answer:
Sterling silver contains copper, which reacts with oxygen and moisture. Tarnish is normal and easily cleaned. High-quality silver pieces can last a lifetime with proper care.

5. Is minimalist jewelry still trendy in 2025?

Answer:
Minimalism remains one of the strongest and most timeless fashion languages. Its clean lines and monochrome palette allow jewelry to elevate an outfit without overwhelming it.
