When it comes to jewellery that combines luxury, affordability, and durability, gold vermeil jewellery stands out as a top choice for discerning buyers. At Suarga, we’re passionate about offering exquisite pieces that elevate your style without breaking the bank. In this blog post, we’ll dive into what gold vermeil jewellery is, why it’s a fantastic option, and how to care for it to ensure it remains a cherished part of your collection.
What is Gold Vermeil Jewellery?
Gold vermeil (pronounced ver-may) jewellery is crafted by layering a thick coating of gold—typically 14k, 18k, or higher—over a base of sterling silver. At Suarga, to achieve the best and most long-lasting results, we use a 24k gold base layer, combined with a 18k flash plating layer for a unique finish. Unlike gold-plated jewellery, which has a thinner gold layer, vermeil must meet strict standards: the gold layer must be at least 2.5 microns thick, and the base metal must be sterling silver (925 purity). This combination results in jewellery that looks and feels like solid gold but is far more affordable.
At Suarga, our gold vermeil jewellery is designed to offer the lustre and sophistication of high-end pieces, making it perfect for everyday wear or special occasions. Whether you’re eyeing a delicate vermeil necklace, a pair of statement earrings, or a chic bracelet, Suarga has something to suit every style.
Why Choose Gold Vermeil Jewellery?
Affordable Luxury
Gold vermeil jewellery offers the rich, warm glow of gold at a fraction of the cost of solid gold pieces. This makes it an excellent choice for those who want to invest in high-quality jewellery without the hefty price tag. At Suarga, we craft our vermeil pieces with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring they exude elegance and quality.
Durability
Thanks to the thick gold layer and sterling silver base, gold vermeil jewellery is more durable than standard gold-plated items. With proper care, your Suarga vermeil jewellery can maintain its shine for years, making it a smart addition to your collection.
Hypoallergenic Properties
Since the base metal is sterling silver, gold vermeil jewellery is less likely to cause allergic reactions compared to pieces made with base metals like nickel. This makes Suarga’s vermeil jewellery a great choice for those with sensitive skin. Please note that you're prone to severe allergic reactions, we advise you to try wearing the pieces for a shorter time, first, to make sure they're safe for you.
Versatility
From minimalist designs to bold statement pieces, gold vermeil jewellery is incredibly versatile. Whether you’re dressing up for a formal event or adding a touch of sparkle to your everyday look, Suarga’s collection has the perfect piece to complement your style.
How to Care for Your Gold Vermeil Jewellery
To keep your Suarga gold vermeil jewellery looking its best, follow these simple care tips:
- Store Properly: Store your jewellery in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches. Avoid tossing it in with other pieces, as this can damage the gold layer.
- Avoid Chemicals: Remove your vermeil jewellery before swimming, showering, or applying perfumes, lotions, or hairspray, as these can tarnish the gold finish.
- Clean Gently: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to polish your Suarga vermeil jewellery. For deeper cleaning, soak it in lukewarm water with mild soap, then dry thoroughly.
- Wear with Care: While gold vermeil is durable, avoid wearing it during activities like exercise or heavy manual work to prevent wear and tear.

Gold Vermeil vs. Gold-Plated: What’s the Difference?
It’s easy to confuse gold vermeil with gold-plated jewellery, but the differences are significant. Gold-plated jewellery often uses a thinner gold layer and a base metal like brass or copper, which can wear off quickly. In contrast, Suarga’s gold vermeil jewellery uses a thicker gold coating over sterling silver, offering greater durability and a premium feel. When shopping for quality, choosing Suarga’s vermeil pieces ensures you’re getting jewellery that lasts.
