What is 18k gold vermeil?

Vermeil is a layer of gold bonded to sterling silver. Ours is 18k gold, at least 2.5 microns thick, so you see the colour of gold while the sterling silver beneath keeps the price friendly. It's a step up from thin plating, and it's why vermeil is such a popular choice for a first bracelet in gold.

Which 18k gold vermeil bracelet should I start with?

Begin with the story you'd like on your wrist. The I Am Protected bracelet offers protection, the pearl bracelet brings calm, and the Crystal Bloom bracelet celebrates growth. If you're building a stack, our dainty bracelets are an easy place to add more.

How do I stack bangles with gold vermeil bracelets?

Let one bangle be the star and keep the rest slim. The gold bangle is made to layer, and the Live in Love bangle adds a crystal halo. For contrast, the silver hinged bangle brings the cool tone of sterling silver beside the warm gold, and our bracelets for women include more silver and charm styles.

18k Gold Vermeil Bracelets FAQs

Does 18k gold vermeil wear off?

Over time, yes, because friction, sweat and chemicals wear the gold layer gradually. Take your bracelet off before you shower, swim or exercise, and put it on after perfume and lotion, and it will hold its colour much longer.

How do I clean a gold vermeil bracelet?

Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. For a deeper clean, use warm water with a drop of mild soap, pat it dry and avoid abrasive polish or cleaning dips, which strip the gold layer.

Is gold vermeil good quality?

Yes, when it's genuine vermeil. The standard is a sterling silver base with a gold layer of at least 2.5 microns, which is typically thicker than standard gold plating. Ours uses 18k gold.

Where is the best place to buy gold vermeil bracelets?

Look for a brand that names the base metal, the karat and the thickness of the gold. Every By Charlotte vermeil bracelet is 18k gold over sterling silver and is designed in Sydney.
