18K Gold Vermeil Jewellery
Gold vermeil (pronounced as ver-may) is where the luxurious meets the affordable! We specialize in bringing you the best quality gold vermeil jewellery at fair prices, thus bridging the gap between opulence and simplicity, while taking care of your budget. Who says looking gorgeous requires a big budget? Gone are the days when jewellery was an occasional indulgence. With our exquisite gold vermeil pieces, you can look your luxurious best, every single day!
Gold vermeil should not be confused with regular gold plating. What distinguishes gold vermeil jewellery from the usual gold polished jewellery is the thickness of gold plating. Gold vermeil jewellery is more luxe, durable, and luminous as it is polished and coated with a much thicker layer of 18K gold.
All our gold vermeil jewellery is polished with 18K gold that has a minimum thickness of 2.5 microns, thus complying with the Federal Trade Commission requirement. Of course, this thick and plush layer of 18K gold is layered over 925 sterling silver. All of our 18K gold vermeil pieces are stamped with 925.
Here are a few tips on how to care for your gold vermeil jewellery:
- Avoid direct contact with perfumes, body lotions, hair sprays, or other chemicals. Allow perfumes and lotion to dry before wearing your gold vermeil jewellery.
- Always remove your gold vermeil jewellery before showering, swimming, and while participating in physical activities such as exercising, cleaning, gardening etc.
- Avoid direct sunlight and extreme heat. Especially stay away from humidity.
- To clean gold vermeil jewelry, buff gently with a soft and dry cloth.
- Remove your jewellery before going to bed.
- When not worn, store your piece in a safe, dry place to protect it from the elements of daily exposure.
925 Sterling Silver Jewellery
925 Sterling Silver is an alloy made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. All our 925 sterling silver jewellery has high polish and is plated with rhodium to give it extra shine and durability. Rhodium is rare, therefore very expensive. All of our sterling silver pieces are stamped with 925.
Here's how you can care for your 925 Sterling Silver Jewellery:
- Sterling silver jewellery will oxidize when exposed to the elements, so remove your silver jewellery before exercising, washing your hands or showering. It is very important to remove your sterling silver jewellery before swimming as chlorinated water can not only tarnish your jewellery but also dull its shine.
- Avoid direct contact with perfumes, body lotions, hair sprays, or other chemicals. Always apply perfumes, creams and hair care products before wearing your pieces. Make sure you let the lotions and perfumes dry.
