Gold Vermeil Care
What Is Gold Vermeil?
Gold vermeil (pronounced vur-may) is a premium type of gold jewellery that features a thick layer of gold bonded to a base of solid Sterling Silver. To be classified as gold vermeil, the gold layer must be at least 2.5 microns thick. At La Lune Collective, we go above and beyond by using an impressive 4-micron gold layer, ensuring enhanced durability and lasting brilliance.
Our gold vermeil jewellery offers the perfect blend of luxury and affordability, giving you a high-quality alternative to solid gold pieces. With proper care, your vermeil jewellery will stay radiant for years to come.
How do you protect your vermeil jewellery?
To maintain the beauty and longevity of your gold vermeil pieces, follow these simple care tips.
1. Avoid Water Exposure - Remove your jewellery before swimming in chlorinated pools or salt water to prevent the gold layer from wearing away.
2. Minimise Contact with Sweat - Take off your jewellery before exercising or engaging in activities that cause heavy perspiration.
3. Apply Products First - Perfumes, lotions, and makeup can affect the shine of your jewellery. Always apply these products before putting on your gold vermeil pieces.
4. Protect from Hard Surfaces - To prevent scratches, remove your jewellery when handling heavy objects or performing tasks that may expose it to hard surfaces (e.g. weightlifting).
5. Store Safely - Store your gold vermeil jewellery in a soft pouch or individual jewellery box to prevent pieces from rubbing against each other and causing damage.
If your jewellery is tarnished beyond what a good cleaning can remedy, all is not lost. You can breathe new life into your jewellery by having it the vermeil redone. Simply email us at hello@lalunecollective.com .
How to Clean Your Gold Vermeil Jewellery
- Gently clean your jewellery using our soft Jewellery Polishing Cloth to remove dirt and oils.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can wear down the gold layer.
By following these care tips, your La Lune Collective gold vermeil jewellery will continue to shine bright, preserving its beauty and sentimental value for years to come.
