Care

Gold plated jewellery is a thin layer of gold over any base metal (brass, bronze, silver etc). However, gold vermeil must be a thick layer of gold (at least 2.5 microns) over a base of sterling silver. This means it's the highest quality and longest lasting option when it comes to plated jewellery. 

We use 24ct recycled gold over a base of recycled sterling silver, which means your jewellery is made entirely from recycled precious metals.

Gold vermeil is vulnerable to knocks, chlorine, soap, make-up, perfume and sweat as these agents can strip the gold. Vermeil will naturally wear over time, so we recommend removing your jewellery when sleeping, exercising, swimming or showering to increase the longevity of your piece. Gently clean using warm water and mild soap, and clean using a soft, lint free cloth. Never use polishing agents or chemicals on gold vermeil jewellery, as these agents will strip the gold.

Each RFL piece is handmade from precious metals and requires delicate care. We recommend storing your jewellery in a cool, dark place when not worn. 

Sterling Silver will naturally oxidise over time when it is exposed to air, liquid and skin. To maintain the finish, please use a silver cleaning agent or polishing cloth and gently clean.

Gold vermeil gives you the look and feel of gold jewellery at a more accessible price point. If your piece is well looked after, gold vermeil jewellery will last a long time. Don't be afraid to wear your pieces often. All jewellery will age and patina, which is beautiful, or they can easily be restored and re-vermeiled to look like new again. Contact us to discuss.
