Sterling silver means that the jewelry consists of 92.5% pure silver, with the remaining 7.5% often filled with other metals such as copper. This makes the silver stronger and more durable, so that your jewelry stays beautiful for a long time without quickly deforming or wearing out. The high silver content ensures that sterling silver retains the bright, shiny appearance of pure silver, but is also strong enough for daily use.

Sterling silver is the standard for high-quality silver jewelry.

Vermeil gold is a luxury form of gold plating. It means that a silver jewel is covered with a thick layer of real gold of at least 2.5 microns and at least 10 carats. This is different from regular gold plating, where cheaper metals such as brass or copper are often used as a base. Because vermeil has real silver as a base and contains a thicker layer of gold, it is more durable and stays beautiful for longer. Cheaper gold plating wears out faster and can show a dull or discolored base layer, while vermeil retains its luxurious appearance.

18K gold consists of 75% pure gold, supplemented with other metals that make the gold stronger. This means that it has the luxurious look of pure gold, but is also durable enough to wear daily without quickly becoming damaged.

Thanks to the high percentage of pure gold, 18K gold has a rich, warm colour that always remains in style.

The term "2.5 microns" indicates the thickness of the gold layer applied to the jewelry.

A layer of 2.5 microns is considered a high quality gold plating, because the gold layer is thick enough to remain beautiful for a long time without wearing out quickly.

Although both 925 sterling silver and gold plated are quite durable, it is not recommended to swim or shower with them, especially on a daily basis.

We recommend wiping your jewelry, whether sterling silver or gold plated, before putting it in water. This will help you enjoy its beauty and extend its lifespan. Store it in a dry place and clean it regularly to keep it in top condition.

The jewelry can become duller through contact with water, perfume and sunscreen. These substances can react with the gold and silver, reducing the shine.
Therefore, take off your jewelry when showering, swimming and exercising and store it in a safe place. Regular polishing with a soft cloth helps to keep it shining!
