What is Gold Vermeil?
Gold vermeil is a premium jewelry finish consisting of a thick layer of 18K gold over sterling silver. Unlike gold plating, vermeil offers superior durability and lasting beauty when properly cared for.
Daily Care Tips
1. Remove Before Water Activities
Always remove your gold vermeil jewelry before showering, swimming, or washing hands. Water and chemicals can gradually wear down the gold layer.
2. Apply Cosmetics First
Put on your jewelry after applying perfume, lotion, and makeup. These products contain chemicals that can tarnish the gold finish.
3. Store Properly
Keep each piece in a separate soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratching. Avoid humid environments.
