Vermeil earrings

To preserve the shine of your vermeil earrings, gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. Avoid prolonged contact with water, perfumes, or chemicals, which can tarnish the gold layer. Store them away from humidity in their original case. Thanks to their 18k gold finish (5 microns), these pieces retain their brilliance for a long time with regular care. If needed, professional cleaning in our workshop can restore their radiance.

Vermeil is a noble choice for refined jewellery, combining a solid silver base with an 18k gold layer. It offers a lustre close to pure gold, at a more accessible price. More durable than gold plating, it's ideal for everyday earrings. At Mayuri, each vermeil piece is handcrafted with care, respecting precious metals and the environment. It's an elegant, lasting, and ethical choice.

Vermeil consists of solid silver coated with 18k gold, with a minimum thickness of 5 microns. Gold plating uses a less noble base metal (copper, brass), with a thinner gold layer. Vermeil is therefore more durable, luminous, and precious.

Some vermeil earrings are in stock and ship immediately. Others are made to order in our workshop, which requires a production time of 3 to 4 weeks. This approach guarantees the authenticity of each creation.

Our vermeil earrings are coated with an 18k gold layer of at least 5 microns, according to fine jewellery standards. This thickness guarantees excellent durability and superior resistance compared to simple gold plating. This detail, often overlooked, makes all the difference in terms of longevity and shine. This finish is carefully applied in our workshop to preserve the beauty of each creation.

Some of our vermeil earrings are set with semi-precious or precious stones, rigorously selected. Each stone is chosen for its light, cut, and purity. Whether topaz, citrine, or moonstone, it is hand-set with precision. The pairing of vermeil and stone creates a unique jewel, both luminous and refined. The piece description will indicate the type of stone used.

Solid gold is composed entirely of a gold alloy, typically 18k at Mayuri. Vermeil combines a solid silver base with an 18k gold plating of at least 5 microns. Visually, the lustre is similar, but the price is more accessible for vermeil. It's an excellent choice for those who wish to wear elegant jewellery made with precious metals, without choosing solid gold.

Yes, each pair of vermeil earrings is handcrafted in our small-scale workshop. Our artisans shape each piece with care, from design to final polishing. This craftsmanship gives the jewellery a distinctive style and impeccable finish. Working by hand also guarantees the quality of each piece, and ensures that each earring is a true creation, not a standardised product.

Vermeil captivates with its warm, luminous tone, close to gold, pairing beautifully with minimalist, bohemian, or sophisticated outfits. Delicate vermeil earrings illuminate a tailored suit, while stone-set styles bring a radiant touch to a flowing dress. These pieces suit every woman, every moment of the day, revealing the natural glow of the wearer.

Yes, vermeil is a precious metal in its own right, based on solid 925 silver, coated with 18k gold. This composition distinguishes it from simple gold plating and gives it recognised status in the jewellery world. It combines brilliance, durability, and elegance, while being more accessible than solid gold. It's the ideal choice for refined, lasting, and ethical jewellery.

Vermeil is a robust material, but like all precious metal jewellery, it should be protected from excessive humidity, chlorine, or chemicals. Direct and prolonged sun exposure can affect certain stones or patinas. To preserve their radiant shine, remove your vermeil earrings before swimming or exercising. Careful wear will allow them to retain their full lustre.

Yes, our jewellery is made in a small-scale workshop committed to ethical practices. We work with skilled artisans, and our suppliers are certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council. Over 80% of the metals used are recycled. Each piece is made with respect for people, the environment, and gemstone traceability standards.

Absolutely. Thanks to its soft, warm tone, vermeil pairs harmoniously with yellow or rose gold. You can wear your vermeil earrings with a rose gold ring or a yellow gold necklace to create a contrasting, refined look. The key is to balance volumes and finishes to enhance each piece.
