Material & Care

Gold Vermeil jewelry features a sterling silver (S925) base with a gold plating layer exceeding 2.5 microns in thickness and comprising a minimum of 10-karat gold, equivalent to at least 41.7% pure gold. Our collections typically feature vermeil pieces between 14K and 18K.

• High quality
• Tarnish-resistant
• Durable and hypoallergenic

Gold filled jewelry consists of a base metal—such as brass or copper—bonded under heat and pressure to a thick outer layer of gold. This gold content constitutes 58.3% in 14K and 75% in 18K pieces.

• More wear-resistant than gold-plated items
• Tarnish-resistant
• Durable and hypoallergenic

Gold-plated jewelry contains 0.03–0.05% solid gold, electroplated over a base metal (typically brass).

• Highly affordable
• Tarnish-resistant
• Hypoallergenic; sensitive skin may react if the plating wears off

Rose gold consists of pure gold (75%) alloyed with silver and copper (25%).

• More durable than yellow or white gold
• Affordable
• Higher copper content may lead to discoloration when exposed to moisture or sweat

White gold is composed of pure gold (75%) mixed with palladium or nickel (25%).

• Durable and affordable
• Tarnish-resistant
• Prone to scratching with daily wear
• May contain nickel; not recommended for those with metal allergies

Sterling silver consists of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper.

• May tarnish but can be easily polished
• Durable and hypoallergenic
• Silver is a precious metal, though softer than gold or platinum. Its alloyed form enhances durability while retaining value. Pure silver is prone to bending and damage.

This surgical-grade steel contains chromium, which forms an invisible protective layer against oxidation.

• Extremely durable and scratch-resistant
• Tarnish-, rust-, and corrosion-proof
• Affordable and hypoallergenic
• Easy to clean with warm water

Sterling silver tarnishes naturally due to exposure to moisture and airborne sulfur. Regular wear or storage in a dry, airtight environment helps maintain shine. Use a silver polishing cloth for light tarnish. Avoid exposure to chemicals, chlorine, saltwater, and hard impacts. Remove before sleeping, cleaning, or showering.

Gently clean with warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly before storage. Avoid polishing cloths to preserve the matte texture. Note that matte finishes may gradually become shiny with wear. Light sanding with an ultra-fine sponge can restore the finish if needed.

Heavily tarnished or intricate pieces may require a silver dip solution. Rinse thoroughly with warm water afterward and buff dry with a polishing cloth. Use a soft toothbrush to clean detailed areas. Ensure complete dryness before storage.

Store silver in airtight containers or original packaging. Include silica gel packs to absorb moisture. Avoid humid environments such as bathrooms.

For metal-only items (not suitable for gemstones):

1. Line a glass bowl with aluminum foil.
2. Place jewelry inside and cover with baking soda.
3. Pour hot water over and wait until bubbling stops.
4. Rinse with warm water and dry with a soft cloth.

Repeat for heavily tarnished items.

Clean with warm soapy water and buff with a soft cloth. Use an ultrasonic cleaner or gold dip for deeper cleaning. A soft toothbrush can remove embedded dirt—avoid brushing around loose stones.
