Vermeil is a technique invented in 1805 where gold is applied to sterling silver. Gold vermeil is made in a similar style to gold plating but requires a thicker layer of gold. The gold layer must be above 2.5 microns, creating a finish that is five times thicker than average gold plating, and far more durable.

The gold used in our Vermeil pieces is 18 karats of purity and completely nickel free.

Vermeil is more suitable for occasional wear rather than daily use, as frequent abrasion and contact with skin oils, perfumes, and lotions can gradually wear down the gold layer.

Remove vermeil jewelry when swimming, bathing, or doing household chores involving chemicals.

Store in a soft pouch or a separate compartment in a jewelry box to prevent scratching.

To clean your vermeil jewelry, use a solution of warm water and mild dish soap.

Soak the jewelry for a few minutes, then gently wipe with a soft cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid using Chlorine, saltwater, and harsh or abrasive cleaning agents that can damage the gold layer.

Sterling Silver (.925) is a hypoallergenic alloy consisting of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals (usually copper) to enhance durability.

Tarnish is a common issue with silver, caused by a chemical reaction between silver and sulfur-containing substances in the air.

Surprisingly, wearing silver jewelry often can help prevent tarnish, as the oils in your skin can clean the silver and keep it shiny.

When not wearing your silver jewelry, make sure you store it in air-tight containers (like a ziplock bag) to avoid tarnishing, and keep it away from humidity.

Regularly clean silver with a soft cloth to remove tarnish. For deeper cleaning, use a mixture of mild soap and warm water or a silver-specific cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials that can scratch the surface.

14K Yellow gold consists of 58.3% pure gold and 41.7% copper and zinc. The "K" stands for karats, a measure of the purity of gold out of 24 parts.

14K gold is more durable than higher karat gold (like 18K or 24K) due to the added alloy metals, making it suitable for everyday wear.

You can swim and sweat in solid 14K Gold and silver jewelry carelessly, however you must remove gold jewelry when using household cleaners, chlorine, bleach, or other harsh chemicals, as these can damage the gold.

Store in a soft pouch or a separate compartment in a jewelry box to prevent scratching.

To clean your gold jewelry, use a solution of warm water and mild dish soap.
