Recycled Sterling Silver

Recycled sterling silver is an eco-friendly option for making jewelry. It involves melting down and purifying waste sterling silver to create new metal, reducing the need for mining new silver and decreasing landfill waste. Recycled silver has the same properties and quality as newly mined silver, so there is no compromise on the look or durability of the jewelry.

Recycled Sterling Silver - Care

Remove jewelry when doing any physical and household work, when using creams, lotions and other cosmetics, prepared on the basis of mercury and sulfur. Such cosmetics can cause an unwanted chemical reaction upon contact with silver and negatively affect the appearance of jewelry.

It is necessary to store silver items in a dry place in soft bags, insignificant plaque and tarnish on silver can be easily removed with a silver polishing clothes included in each packaging, developed specifically for the metal products.

Gold Vermeil - Process

Gold vermeil jewelry starts with sterling silver, which is cleaned and polished to remove any impurities. Then, a thick layer of gold is applied using a technique called electroplating. This involves immersing the silver piece in a solution that contains gold ions and passing an electric current through it. The gold ions bond with the silver to create a layer of gold on the surface of the jewelry.

To be considered gold vermeil, the gold layer must be at least 2.5 microns thick and the base metal must be sterling silver. The resulting jewelry has the look and feel of solid gold but is much more affordable.

It's important to note that gold vermeil jewelry is not the same as gold-filled or gold-plated jewelry, which have thinner layers of gold and may not last as long.

Gold Vermeil - Care

Gold vermeil jewelry requires proper care to maintain its shine and prevent damage. Keep it clean with a soft cloth and mild soap, avoid contact with chemicals and store it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Handle it with care to avoid bending or breaking it. By following these tips, you can enjoy your gold vermeil jewelry for years to come.
