Vermeil Jewellery&#xA0;What is Gold Vermeil? &#xA0;<ul class="decimal_type"><li>Gold vermeil (pronounced vehr-may) originated in&#x202F;18th-century France&#x202F;as a method to create the look of solid gold jewellery at a more affordable price.</li><li>It features a sterling silver base with a layer of 18KT gold plating of 2.5 microns thick.</li></ul><ol start="3"><li>Secrets always use precious metals to craft our fine, high-quality jewellery.&#xA0;</li></ol>Why Choose Gold Vermeil? &#xA0;<ul><li>Unlike other gold-toned jewellery made from brass or stainless steel with standard gold plating, Secrets gold vermeil is crafted with high-quality sterling silver and a thick layer of 18ct gold plating.</li><li>This makes it wear better and significantly reduces the likelihood of allergic reactions on your skin.&#xA0;</li></ul>How to Care for Gold Vermeil&#xA0;<ul><li>Put on last, take off first &#x2013; always put on your gold vermeil jewellery after dressing and remove it before undressing.&#xA0;</li><li>Avoid exposure to chemicals &#x2013; keep your jewellery away from chlorinated water, perfumes, and chemicals that can impact the gold including gold and silver cleaning products.</li><li>Apply make-up and perfume before wearing the jewellery as this can have an adverse reaction such as tarnishing.</li><li>Be cautious during activities &#x2013; remove jewellery before cleaning, showering, or exercising to protect its integrity.&#xA0;</li><li>Regular cleaning &#x2013; gently clean your gold vermeil jewellery with a soft cloth to remove oils and dirt, preventing tarnish buildup. For lightly tarnished pieces, use a gold polish cloth only. Avoid using chemical jewellery dips, as they can strip away the gold.&#xA0;</li></ul>While we take pride in the quality of our gold vermeil jewellery, we cannot guarantee that plated pieces will retain their original appearance indefinitely. By nature, plated jewellery is more delicate and may gradually lose its colour over time. The rate of fading can vary based on several factors, including exposure to skincare products, perfumes, perspiration, and your skin&#x2019;s natural pH levels.&#xA0;To help preserve the beauty and longevity of your piece, we strongly recommend following the care instructions provided with your purchase. Proper care will enhance wearability and extend the life of your jewellery.&#xA0; By following these tips, you can keep your <a href="https://www.secrets-shhh.com.au/collections/duo-collection">gold vermeil jewellery</a> looking stunning for years to come! &#xA0;
