Metal Finishes.

What finish of jewellery would I like? What is gold vermeil? How to take care of your jewellery.

Which finish do you choose?

Our designs come in various finishes to suit you.

Silver is a classic polished look. The material used is 925 sterling silver that is great for wearing everyday. Silver tarnishes with wear but the finish can be reinstated using a jewellers polishing cloth.

Gold vermeil is an affordable way to purchase and wear gold jewellery. Our gold vermeil designs have a layer of 18 ct Fairmined Gold coating the solid sterling silver. This is designed to be worn and loved everyday and can be cleaned using a jewellers polishing cloth. The layer of Fairmined Gold has to be at least 2.5 microns thick to register as gold vermeil which is thicker and more durable than normal gold plating. Similarly to getting your silver jewellery professionally polished, gold vermeil can be reapplied after a long time of wearing to refresh your jewellery.

We also offer designs in an oxidised finish. This is a piece of jewellery made from solid silver but is exposed to liver of sulphur which darkens the finish of the metal . The surface is then rubbed back to a satin finish highlighting areas of metal creating a greater contrast in a piece of jewellery.
