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.
