Material & Craft
14ct Gold Vermeil. Fine jewellery, accessible.
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.
- Metal 14ct Gold Vermeil
- Base Metal 925 Sterling Silver
- Gold Layer 14ct · 2.5 microns thick
- Colour Options Yellow · Rose · White
- Care Avoid water, perfume & harsh chemicals

What Our Customers Say
Loved by those who wear it.
"The brushed gold gives a softness to these earrings that feel like they're already decades old yet also timeless. They are simple, elegant and beautiful. As a long time VG wearer, I knew these were for me the second I saw them."
"These mini hoops are such a classic looking piece of jewellery. They're the perfect design for wearing year after year as they'll never go out of fashion. Truly a staple for any collection."
"I looked at these earrings for months before buying them and I am so happy I did! I love them. Super comfy, even when I leave them in and I love their subtle sparkle."
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.
