Material & Craft
14ct Gold Vermeil
Gold vermeil (pronounced ver-may) is the finest form of gold plating. It is a thick layer of real 14ct gold applied over a sterling silver base. It's how we bring the look and warmth of solid gold to a more accessible price point, without cutting corners on quality or craft.
Our vermeil pieces are finished to the same standard as our solid gold range. With mindful wear and simple care, they'll hold their colour beautifully and remain a staple in your collection for years to come.

- Base Metal 925 Sterling Silver

What Our Customers Say
Loved by those who wear it.
"I got the 6mm for a newish flat piercing but while I wait for the swelling to go down, this piece feels great as a low maintenance lobe piercing. The opal, gold, diamond design is even more beautiful in real life. Feels like a tiny guardian angel!"
"I combined this stud with other VG hoops and love how they look together. The hammering of the gold glistens and gives a fun vibe. This is the first time I have worn this type of flat back and I'm converted - so much more comfortable."
"Got matching serpents for my friend and I and they’re such a beautiful symbolic gift! I have super sensitive ears and these are the best quality, I can leave them in set and forget. Love this Aussie brand 🩵"
Common Questions
Everything you need to know before you buy.
Still have a question not answered here? Get in touch, we respond within one business day.
Yes, our earrings are designed for daily wear. For longevity, we recommend removing them during heavy activity, exposure to water and chemicals, and during sleep. The only exception is our solid gold flat-back studs, which you can leave in 24/7.
Our pieces are crafted from high-quality materials chosen for everyday comfort. Our earrings are made from recycled materials, are nickel free, and are hypoallergenic. If you have highly reactive skin, 9ct or 14ct Solid Gold is the safest option.
This comes down to how you like to wear your jewellery. Smaller, close-to-ear styles offer an understated, effortless feel, while larger or drop styles create more presence. If you’re unsure, we’re here to help you refine your choice.
Our designs are thoughtfully balanced for all-day comfort. The Violet Gray aesthetic is less about trends and more about creating high-quality pieces with refined detail. In your ears, they feel considered, and never heavy or bulky. If you’re unsure, we’re always here and happy to guide you toward lighter styles.
The Maker
Designed with intention. Made with care.
Violet Gray was founded by Alexandra Olsen in 2012, shaped by the belief that jewellery should feel considered, enduring and quietly personal. Every piece — from the most delicate everyday earring to a bespoke engagement ring — passes through Alex's hands.
When you buy from Violet Gray, you're buying directly from the person who designed and made your piece. There's no factory, no middleman. Just a small Australian studio that takes its craft seriously.
If you have any questions about this piece — the gemstones, the process, whether it will suit you — Alex genuinely wants to hear from you.
