Our Materials

What sets vermeil apart is its foundation. Our vermeil pieces are crafted with a thick layer of 18k gold applied over a solid 925 sterling silver base, a precious metal foundation that places vermeil in a category above standard gold-plated jewellery. The sterling silver contributes to the overall quality and feel of each piece, while the 18k gold delivers a rich, warm tone that holds its finish beautifully with simple care.
