Our Materials
Gold Vermeil
Why Gold Vermeil? Our gold vermeil jewellery is plated with 18ct solid gold at 2.5 microns, which is 5x thicker than average gold plating, making it much more durable.
Premium Quality at a Lower Price: gold vermeil provides the appearance of solid gold jewellery at a fraction of the cost, making it an affordable way to enjoy the beauty of gold. It uses a base of 925 sterling silver, known for its durability and value, offering a solid and reliable foundation.
Thicker Gold Layer for Longevity: gold vermeil features a thick gold layer (at least 2.5 microns), which is significantly thicker than standard gold-plated jewellery. This makes it more durable and resistant to wear over time, ensuring the piece retains its golden shine.
Skin-Friendly: the sterling silver base and gold coating make gold vermeil jewellery less likely to cause skin irritation, making it a great option for those with sensitive skin or allergies to other metals like nickel.
Tarnish Free: compared to traditional silver jewellery, gold vermeil is more resistant to tarnish due to the protective gold layer. This helps maintain its shine and appearance for longer periods, even with frequent wear.
Versatility and Timelessness: gold vermeil is suitable for a wide range of occasions, from everyday wear to formal events. Its timeless appeal ensures that it never goes out of style.
Environmentally Friendly: because gold vermeil uses less gold than solid gold pieces, it is a more sustainable and environmentally friendly option, conserving precious resources.
Low Maintenance: gold vermeil jewellery requires minimal maintenance to keep it looking new. Gentle cleaning and proper storage can extend its lifespan, making it a practical and elegant choice.
Sterling Silver
Why Sterling Silver? Our 925 sterling silver plated with rhodium offers several key benefits that enhance the beauty, durability, and longevity of your jewellery. Our 925 sterling silver is made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals. These other metals, as well as the rhodium plating, make it far more durable than pure silver alone, with no compromise to the colour and beauty of your jewellery.
Tarnish Free: rhodium is a highly reflective and non-reactive metal, which prevents oxidation and tarnishing. This helps sterling silver retain its brilliant shine for longer.
Scratch Resistant: rhodium plating adds a protective layer to the sterling silver, making it more resistant to scratches and everyday wear and tear. By shielding the silver beneath, rhodium plating extends the life of your jewellery, keeping it looking new and pristine for longer.
Skin Friendly: rhodium is hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for individuals with sensitive skin or allergies to metals like nickel. It ensures that your jewellery is comfortable and safe to wear.
Mirror-Like Finish: rhodium has a bright, reflective quality that gives jewellery a stunning, polished finish, enhancing the beauty of the sterling silver. The rhodium layer provides a high-end, platinum-like appearance, adding a touch of luxury to your sterling silver jewellery.
Low Maintenance: rhodium-plated jewellery requires minimal upkeep compared with un-plated sterling silver. Simple cleaning with a soft cloth is usually enough to maintain its brilliance. Unlike regular silver, which may need frequent polishing, rhodium plating keeps your jewellery shiny and tarnish-free with less effort.
Versatile for Different Styles: rhodium-plated sterling silver is suitable for all occasions, from casual outfits to elegant events, due to its durable and refined finish.
