Vermeil jewellery

Vermeil is a piece of jewellery crafted in sterling silver 925 and coated with a fine layer of 18k gold. This centuries-old technique unites the nobility of gold with the elegance of silver.

To be classified as vermeil: a sterling silver 925 base and a gold layer of at least 5 microns.

At Mayuri Paris, every vermeil piece reflects exceptional artisan craftsmanship and lasting brilliance, blending tradition with modernity.

• Metal base: vermeil is built on sterling silver 925 (a precious metal), whereas gold-plated jewellery uses a base metal such as brass.
• Gold layer thickness: vermeil features a layer of at least 5 microns, compared to less than 1 micron for gold-plated pieces.

The result: vermeil is more durable, more radiant and of superior refinement.

At Mayuri Paris, vermeil is crafted using 100% recycled precious metals (sterling silver 925 and 18k gold), RJC certified.

• The brilliance of 18k gold at a more accessible price than solid gold.
• Lightweight: thanks to its sterling silver 925 base, ideal for earrings, necklaces and bracelets.
• Durability: a gold layer of at least 5 microns, ensuring excellent long-term wear.
• Ethical approach: 100% recycled precious metals and RJC-certified production.

Vermeil allows you to enjoy the beauty of gold through fine, responsible jewellery.

Longevity varies depending on the piece and how it is cared for, typically between 1 and 5 years or more.

• Rings wear more quickly than necklaces or earrings.
• Skin pH, chemicals and moisture can accelerate wear.

A gold re-plating can be carried out every 1 to 5 years depending on use. At Mayuri Paris, this service is available from €30 to restore your piece to its full brilliance.

To preserve the brilliance and longevity of your vermeil jewellery:

Regular cleaning:

• Use a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry gently.
• Avoid all chemical or abrasive products.

Occasional cleaning:

• Briefly immerse the piece in lukewarm soapy water, then rinse and dry immediately.

Precautions: remove your jewellery before showering, swimming or applying perfume, and store it away from moisture.
