GOLD VERMEIL CARE
Gold-vermeil is a combination of thick layered of gold over high-quality sterling silver. Since gold vermeil jewelry has a layer of gold over the sterling silver, when it rubs away from natural wear and tear, the base silver metal will be revealed. All of our items are made in 925 sterling silver to ensure the highest quality product at a fair price.
To increase the longevity of your vermeil, please follow the below guide:
· Vermeil jewelry is delicate and requires special attention and care. When not worn, store your jewelry separately in a jewelry box or small sealable plastic bag then put it into the original box or dustbag to avoid damage.
· Vermeil jewelry isn’t recommended to be wet. Most importantly, try to remove plated rings when washing hands. Always remove jewelry when swimming, showering, performing sports, and when sleeping for longevity. Sweat, moisture, soaps and friction will cause the plating to rub away more quickly.
· When applying lotion or perfume, always wait until your skin is completely dry to put on your vermeil jewelry. Frequent wear of vermeil pieces will speed up the process of rubbing off, especially on rings and bracelets as they have more contact with hard surfaces when worn.
· Different levels of skin acidity will impact the longevity of the plated products.
· Pieces will need re-plating every now and then to maintain their original appearance. Vermeil tarnishing or wearing off is not a production fault, it is a natural part of wear and tear that comes naturally when worn. Please see information below on our professional re-plating service.
SILVER CARE
· For all silver pieces, the key to maintaining shine is to keep wearing your piece as skin acidity naturally keeps the silver shiny.
· You can also purchase a silver cloth to shine up your piece.
