What is Gold Vermeil Jewelry?

Gold vermeil jewelry is a sterling silver base coated with a layer of gold at least 10 karats and 2.5 microns thick. Compared to standard gold plating, which has no required base metal or minimum thickness, vermeil's thicker gold layer over a sterling silver base tends to hold its color and resist wear longer.

Why Choose Gold Vermeil Jewelry?

We built our gold vermeil jewelry collection for a simple reason: we wanted jewelry that felt as considered as everything else we curate. Every piece in this collection pairs a layer of 14K, 18K, or 24K gold with a foundation of sterling silver — the combination that defines vermeil. It's the standard we hold every piece in this collection to before it earns a place here.

How to Choose Your Gold Vermeil Piece

The karat you choose comes down to how often you'll wear the piece and how much handling it needs to survive.

14K Gold Vermeil Jewelry

14K is our most durable option — the alloy content resists scratching, which makes it our recommendation for rings, bracelets, and anything you don't plan to take off.

18K Gold Vermeil Jewelry

18K carries a deeper, warmer gold tone with a slightly softer finish than 14K. We suggest it for necklaces and earrings worn often, but handled with a bit more care than a daily ring.

24K Gold Vermeil Jewelry

24K is the richest gold we carry. It's best suited to statement pendants and drop earrings rather than pieces that see daily friction, like rings or bangles.

How We Recommend You Care for It

Whichever karat you choose, a little care keeps the gold layer looking new for longer. Store pieces dry and away from tangling. Put jewelry on last, after perfume, lotion, and hairspray. Remove it before the pool, the shower, or a hard workout, and wipe it down with a soft cloth after each wear.
