18K Gold Vermeil Jewellery

About Our 18K Gold Vermeil:

At RAWNINETY, our gold vermeil jewellery features 18K gold plating at a thickness of 3.5 microns over recycled 925 sterling silver. This method ensures a high quality and durable finish, providing a solid thickness of gold platting while maintaining the strength of sterling silver.

By following these care steps below, your RAWNINETY 18K gold vermeil jewellery will retain its quality and longevity.

  • Store it properly: Store your gold vermeil jewellery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Use a soft pouch or anti-tarnish cloth to protect it from scratches and keep the gold plating intact. Avoid storing in damp areas like bathrooms, where moisture can accelerate tarnishing.
  • Avoid exposure to chemicals & swimming: To keep your jewellery in top condition, remove it before swimming in chlorine, applying cleaning products, sunscreen, lotions, or perfumes. These substances can damage the gold plating. It’s also recommended to remove your jewellery when swimming in the ocean, as saltwater can wear down the gold layer over time.
  • Avoid contact with hot water and saunas: High temperatures can weaken the gold plating over time. Be sure to remove your jewellery before entering saunas or exposing it to hot water to preserve its appearance.
  • Physical activities: Avoid wearing your gold vermeil jewellery during intense physical activities like working out, lifting weights, or using tools. While durable, gold vermeil is best kept away from activities that could cause impact or abrasion, which may weaken the gold plating over time.
  • Wear it often: Wearing your gold vermeil jewellery regularly can help maintain its shine. The natural oils from your skin act as a gentle cleanser. Just be sure to give it a quick wipe down with a soft cloth after each wear to keep it looking its best.
  • Use your RAWNINETY polish cloth: Gently buff the tarnish away with your polishing cloth. For our Australian customers, if you need an additional RAWNINETY ring cloth, please reach out via our Contact Us page, and we’ll send one to you at no charge.
  • Avoid abrasive products: Refrain from using abrasive cleaning materials, as they can scratch or damage the gold plating. Instead, for a deeper clean, use a mild soap and warm water solution. Gently clean, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
  • Professional cleaning: For stubborn tarnish or more extensive care, consider taking your jewellery to a professional jeweller for cleaning and refinishing to restore its original shine.
