Gold vermeil is a type of jewellery that uses only the highest quality materials. A thick layer of 14ct to 24ct gold is plated on top of a solid sterling silver base, unlike regular gold plating which usually has a brass base with a very thin layer of gold.

This is why you will find gold vermeil jewellery being sold by top jewellery designers. Gold vermeil plating is 5 times thicker than normal gold plated jewellery. This makes it far more durable than other gold plated options and it is superior to gold filled jewellery which is gold sheet plating on a brass core. Gold vermeil is a great alternative to solid gold jewellery and as it is on a solid sterling silver base it is highly hypoallergenic.

HOW TO LOOK AFTER GOLD VERMEIL JEWELLERY.
✥ Gold vermeil is a thick coating of 14ct to 24ct gold over a solid sterling silver base. Although gold vermeil will not tarnish like silver, it may become dirty and fade slightly with wear. However, Gold vermeil can last a lifetime if you care for it properly.

✥ Always apply makeup, perfumes, creams and hair care products before wearing your jewellery.

✥ Remove your jewellery before exercising, swimming, bathing or sleeping.

✥ Store your jewellery in a cool dark place away from extreme temperatures, humidity or sunlight.

✥ To clean, buff gently with a jewellery cloth. You can also mild soap in warm water and a soft toothbrush to remove any dirt.
