Gold Vermeil:
Gold vermeil, pronounced "vehr-may" in chic French style, refers to high quality gold-plated jewelry. For the coveted "vermeil" title, the piece must boast sterling silver as its base, at least 10k gold layer (at least 41.7% pure gold), and a lavish gold plating thickness of no less than 2.5 microns—defining luxury with precision.
Gold Vermeil jewelry, with its thicker layer of gold, provides a more effective barrier against tarnishing. The underlying sterling silver base is less likely to be exposed to environmental factors that can cause tarnish. However, it's important to note that while Gold Vermeil is more resistant to tarnishing than some other gold-plated options, proper care is still recommended.

925 Sterling Silver
925 silver is a blend of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. This mix ensures that the silver is sturdy enough for everyday wear, making it the global standard for sterling silver. Our pieces adhere to the sterling silver standard fineness of 925.
Sterling silver is a great choice for jewelry. It won't rust, and because it's nickel-free, means its hypoallergenic, perfect for people with sensitive ears.
Jewelry Care
-
Cherish Dry Moments: While these beauties thrive on your skin's natural oils, they appreciate being taken off before taking a bath and before diving into water adventures to maintain their shine. Avoid exposure to salt water and chlorine.
-
Tender Loving Clean: If your 925 Silver gets wet, pamper your jewelry with a soft cloth ensuring a gentle wipe without harsh chemicals.
-
Individual Spaces: Give each piece its own space when not in use—separate pouches or compartments keep them safe from scratches.
-
Sunshine Breaks: Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, allowing them to bask in their own brilliance.
-
Prep Before Glam: Be a pre-game star by applying perfumes, lotions, and beauty products before adorning your jewelry, preventing any chemical clashes and gold fading.
-
Sparkle Revival: Treat your Silver 925 to a polishing cloth session for that instant shine revival.
With these positive care practices, your Silver 925 and Gold Vermeil jewelry will continue to radiate beauty, just like you.
