We use Sterling Silver as the base for our jewellery. Sterling Silver, composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy, offers a perfect blend of durability and elegance. This precious metal is renowned for its radiant shine, lasting quality, and timeless appeal compared to cheaper base materials such as copper or brass.
Gold vermeil is a high-quality jewellery material that consists of up to a 5 times thicker layer of gold plating compared to standard gold plating. This method offers the look and feel of solid gold at a more affordable price point. All of our pieces come in 18k gold plated.
Gold vermeil is indeed real gold. It is a high-quality jewellery material that consists of up to a 5 times thicker layer of gold plating compared to standard gold plating. This method offers the look and feel of solid gold at a more affordable price point. All of our pieces come in 18k gold plated.
Gold vermeil is a durable and long-lasting jewellery option when cared for properly. The thick layer of gold bonded to sterling silver or another base metal provides a high level of durability, making gold vermeil jewellery suitable for everyday wear.
With proper care, gold vermeil jewellery can maintain its beautiful appearance for years to come, making it an excellent choice for those seeking quality and durability in their jewellery.
See our care instructions below.
Gold vermeil and gold plated jewellery both offer a beautiful gold finish, but in our opinion gold vermeil wins every time. This is because of the five times thicker finish than typical gold plating, providing a higher quality and longer-lasting option compared to traditional gold plated jewellery. To qualify as vermeil, the thickness of the solid gold layer must be a minimum of 2.5 microns. The thicker gold layer in vermeil makes it more resistant to tarnishing and wear, offering a luxurious look and feel that can endure daily wear with proper care.
In summary, gold vermeil can, regrettably, fade off with prolonged usage. But rest assured, there’s a catch! Due to its thick plating, it can last for many years with proper care. Check out our care instructions below to ensure you give your pieces the tlc they deserve.
If you're looking to purchase gold jewellery, gold vermeil is the highest grade option available short of actual gold. Vermeil is the perfect choice for those looking for an affordable, premium substitute for real gold!
Diamond simulants are materials that resemble the appearance of natural diamonds but have different chemical and physical properties. Our conflict-free 5A synthetic diamonds boast an 8.5 out of 10 rating on the Moh's scale of mineral hardness. You get the durability, sparkle and look without the price tag. It’s a win-win if you ask us.
In simpler terms, the Mohs Scale of Hardness is a scale that ranks scratch resistance on a scale to 1 to 10. If mined diamonds score a 10 out of 10, this means our Diamond Simulants are also some of the strongest minerals, standing the test of time.
As a general rule, your jewellery should be the last thing you put on after getting ready and the first thing you remove after a day of wear.
To ensure longevity, remove your jewellery before doing any activities that may strain your jewellery.
- Store pieces individually in provided pouches
- Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- Avoid exposure to chemicals, including perfumes and lotions
- Keep away from liquids & remove before swimming, showering, or exercising
- Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth
- For deeper cleaning, use only jewelry-specific products
- Store away from other jewelry to prevent scratches
While Gold Vermeil is very high quality and a far more durable option, it is still important to ensure special care is taken to maximise the longevity of your beloved pieces.
To ensure the longevity of your beloved pieces, we recommend to:
Keep your pieces in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, liquids, store away from moist environments and store your pieces separately in their own pouches provided.
We know how busy life can get but please avoid the urge to throw them in amongst your other jewellery. This will help you avoid unnecessary tangles and scratches.
