What is Gold Vermeil or Sterling Silver?
Chosen for its strength and beauty, sterling silver can have a lifetime of durability. Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by weight of silver and 7.5% by weight of other metals. Gold vermeil (pronounced ver-may) is thick gold plating on top of sterling silver. US standards require there to be at least 2.5 microns of gold placed on top of sterling silver, but some other countries require less, such as Canada only requiring 1.0 micron. It is hypoallergenic, so people with metal allergies can wear it safely. Since the gold plating in vermeil is much thicker than gold plated jewelry, the gold lasts much, much longer. Over years, with lots of excessive use, the gold can wear off in areas with a lot of contact.
At Son Mias Jewelry, we not only plate with 3 microns of gold but we send our vermeil pieces to a reputable plating factory that has the capability of measuring how much gold they are plating on top of the sterling silver.
Can you shower with sterling silver?
Though showering with sterling silver jewelry on should not harm the metal, there is a good chance that it could induce tarnishing/ oxidize. Waters that contain chlorine, salts, or harsh chemicals will affect the look of your sterling silver. We encourage our customers to remove your jewelry before showering.
Styles with more than one name?
We cannot guarantee orders placed with more than one name will have names be in order as you the customer have noted them at checkout. As long as they are spelled correctly we are not responsible for remaking the item.
