Vermeil jewelry

Vermeil is a piece of jewellery crafted from 925 sterling silver and layered with 18k gold. This ancestral technique combines the nobility of gold with the elegance of silver.

To be classified as vermeil in France: a 925 sterling silver base and a gold layer of at least 5 microns.

At Mayuri Paris, each vermeil piece reflects artisanal craftsmanship and lasting brilliance, blending tradition with modernity.

• Base metal: vermeil is crafted on 925 sterling silver (a precious metal), while gold plated uses a base metal such as brass.
• Gold layer thickness: vermeil features a layer of at least 5 microns, compared to less than 1 micron for gold plated.

The result: vermeil is more durable, more luminous, and of superior refinement.

At Mayuri Paris, it is crafted with 100% recycled precious metals (925 sterling silver and 18k gold), RJC certified.

• 18k gold lustre at a more accessible price than solid gold.
• Lightness: thanks to its 925 sterling silver base, ideal for earrings, necklaces, and bracelets.
• Durability: gold layer of at least 5 microns, offering excellent longevity.
• Ethical approach: precious metals 100% recycled and RJC certified production.

Vermeil allows you to enjoy the beauty of gold through fine and responsible jewellery.

Lifespan varies depending on the piece and its care, typically 1 to 5 years or more.

• Rings wear faster than necklaces or earrings.
• Skin pH, chemicals, and humidity can accelerate wear.

A gold re-plating can be performed every 1 to 5 years depending on use. At Mayuri Paris, this service is offered from €30 to restore your jewellery's full brilliance.
