Every piece of our jewellery is made from solid sterling silver then plated with rhodium. Rhodium is a member of the platinum metal group, making it more scratch and tarnish resistant. Rhodium-plated sterling silver is the best kind of silver jewellery to buy as it has longevity and it's perfect for everyday wear, this makes your silver jewellery a similar colour to an engagement ring. 

Gold vermeil jewellery features a solid sterling silver base and a thick, 2.5 micron plating of 18ct gold. To ensure the best quality we use a 3-micron plating. Legally, you can only call a piece ‘vermeil’ if it is crafted to this specific quality.  The reason we love gold vermeil is that you can create high quality, beautiful and long lasting pieces of jewellery that are much more affordable than solid gold. It's also great for people with sensitive skin as it's only made from precious metals i.e. nickel free! Gold vermeil jewellery is of a much higher quality than regular plated jewellery which is unregulated. Plated jewellery often features a thin layer of gold on top of cheap mixed metals that may discolour or cause allergies, this is often called flash-plating.
