Gold vermeil pieces use a much thicker layer of 18k solid gold over sterling silver to make jewelry golden, bold and durable. Gold vermeil jewelry usually lasts longer than gold plated jewelry.

 

Gold plated pieces use a layer of 18k solid gold over base metal like brass or stainless steel. This type of jewelry is one of the most hypoallergenic and water-resistant jewelry at an affordable price.

 

 

Although all gold-plated and gold-filled quality jewelry is resistant to water, it can still be tarnished by chemicals and residues from sweat, perfumes, and washers. To keep your jewelry in good condition, we recommend that you avoid wearing it while showering, swimming, exercising, or engaging in any activity that involves moisture or sweat. Instead, clean and polish it using a cotton cloth.
