18k Gold Earrings in Gold Vermeil

18k gold earrings should feel like a treat you can wear daily. Ours are made in gold vermeil, a layer of 18k gold over sterling silver, and designed in Sydney in shapes that range from soft pearls to statement hoops.

What are 18k gold earrings made of?

Gold vermeil starts with a sterling silver base and adds a coating of 18k gold at least 2.5 microns thick. That layer gives you true gold colour at a price well below solid gold, so it is a good way to try a new style. Match them with gold vermeil jewellery in the same warm tone.

Where can I find affordable 18k gold vermeil earrings that still feel special?

Several pairs come in under $100, including the Sun Chaser Earrings, Starlight Earrings and Moonlight Pearl Stud Earrings, and each is designed in-house in Sydney. For something dressier, the Moments in Time pearl drop earrings bring a little movement, and our dainty earrings suit the quietest days.

How do I wear 18k gold vermeil hoops and huggies?

Our gold huggies hug the lobe and stay put all day, while the gold vermeil hoops open into a wider curve. Wear one pair on its own, or add a tiny stud from our women's earrings above a hoop.

18k Gold Earrings FAQs

Do 18k gold vermeil earrings tarnish?

They resist tarnish well when cared for properly. Water, perfume and hairspray are the main culprits, so put your earrings in last, take them out before swimming or showering and wipe them with a soft jewellery cloth.

Are gold vermeil earrings suitable for sensitive ears?

All By Charlotte jewellery is nickel free, which helps many people with sensitive ears. Trace amounts can still come from manufacturing, so if you notice a reaction in the first few wears, contact Customer Care.

How long do 18k gold vermeil earrings last?

Vermeil lasts longer than standard gold plating, and how long it keeps its colour depends on how often you wear it and how you look after it. Rotating pairs, storing them dry and keeping chemicals away all help the gold layer last. If you wear one pair daily, consider gold earrings in solid gold.

Can I buy spare earring backs?

Yes. We sell earring backs in 18k gold vermeil as well as 14k solid gold, so you can keep a spare pair in a velvet jewellery box.
