Materials Guide
The thickness of the gold coat is about 2.5 microns on the base metal of 925 sterling silver. I do gold plating by myself to ensure the durability of the piece. Gold vermeil is a great alternative to solid gold, and is the perfect option for those with metal allergies due to the durable thickness of the gold combined with the base of precious sterling silver.
With proper care and maintenance, gold vermeil jewelry can keep sparkling through the years. Here are some tips for cleaning and storing your gold vermeil jewelry.
- When you aren’t wearing your gold vermeil jewelry, store it in enclosed bag or a soft cloth away from dust and dirt so it can minimize the oxidization of the silver base.
- To prevent tarnishing, wipe gold vermeil jewelry after use. The accumulation of body oils, cosmetics and grime can cause the jewelry to lose its sparkle and to fade.
- Avoid wiping gold vermeil items with coarse fabrics or chemicals as this can strip the gold off. Only use a 100% cotton or microfiber cloth to very softly wipe the item and warm soapy water.
- Avoid to contact with chemicals. This refers to makeup, perfume, sun cream lotions and even chlorine from swimming pools. These can discolor the jewelry and strip the gold off.
- You can wear it in shower but please make sure you rinse off all the shampoo and soaps etc after it.
