Vermeil earrings

To preserve the brilliance of your vermeil earrings, gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. Avoid prolonged contact with water, perfume, or chemical products, which can dull the gilding. Store them away from moisture in their original box. Thanks to their 18k gold finish (5 microns), these pieces retain their shine for a long time with regular care. If needed, professional cleaning at a workshop can restore their lustre.

Vermeil is a refined choice for elegant jewellery, combining a solid sterling silver base with an 18k gold layer. It offers a brilliance close to pure gold, at a more accessible price. More durable than gold-plated pieces, it is ideal for earrings worn every day. At Mayuri Paris, each vermeil piece is carefully handcrafted, with respect for precious metals and the environment. An elegant, lasting, and ethical choice.

Vermeil consists of solid sterling silver coated with 18k gold, with a minimum thickness of 5 microns. Gold-plated jewellery uses a base metal, often less noble such as copper or brass, with a thinner layer of gold. Vermeil is therefore more durable, luminous, and precious.

Some vermeil earrings are held in stock and dispatched immediately. Others are made to order in our workshop, requiring a production lead time of 3 to 4 weeks. This approach guarantees the authenticity of each creation.

Our vermeil earrings are coated with a layer of 18k gold of at least 5 microns, in line with fine jewellery standards. This thickness ensures excellent long-term wear and superior resistance compared to standard gold-plated pieces. This detail, often overlooked, makes all the difference in terms of durability and brilliance. The finish is applied with great care in our workshop to preserve the beauty of each creation.

Some of our vermeil earrings are set with fine or precious gemstones, selected with great care. Each stone is chosen for its light, cut, and clarity. Whether a topaz, citrine, or moonstone, it is set by hand with precision. The combination of vermeil and gemstone creates a unique piece, both luminous and refined. The product description will specify the stone used.

Solid gold is composed entirely of a gold alloy, typically 18k at Mayuri Paris. Vermeil combines a solid sterling silver base with an 18k gold plating of at least 5 microns. Visually, the brilliance is very similar, but vermeil is available at a more accessible price. It is an excellent choice for those who wish to wear elegant jewellery crafted from precious metals, without opting for solid gold.

Yes, every pair of vermeil earrings is handcrafted in our small, human-scale workshop. Our artisans shape each piece with care, from the initial design through to the final polish. This expertise gives each piece a distinctive style and an impeccable finish. Working by hand also guarantees the quality of every piece, ensuring each earring is a true creation, not a standardised product.

Vermeil captivates with its warm, luminous tone, close to gold, pairing beautifully with minimalist, bohemian, or more sophisticated outfits. Delicate vermeil earrings elevate a simple tailored look, while stone-set styles bring a radiant touch to a flowing dress. These pieces suit every woman, for every moment of the day, enhancing the natural brilliance of whoever wears them.

Yes, vermeil is a precious metal in its own right, built on a 925 solid silver base coated with 18k gold. This composition sets it apart from standard gold-plated jewellery and gives it a recognised status in the world of fine jewellery. It combines brilliance, durability, and elegance, while remaining more accessible than solid gold. The ideal choice for refined, lasting, and ethical jewellery.

Vermeil is a robust material, but like all fine jewellery, it should be protected from excessive moisture, chlorine, and chemical products. Prolonged, direct sun exposure can affect certain stones or finishes. To preserve their radiance, remove your vermeil earrings before swimming or exercise. Mindful wear will allow them to retain their brilliance for years to come.

Yes, our jewellery is crafted in a small, human-scale workshop committed to ethical practices. We work with skilled artisans, and our suppliers are certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council. More than 80% of the metals used are recycled. Each piece is made with respect for people, the environment, and full traceability of precious stones.

Absolutely. Thanks to its soft, warm tone, vermeil pairs harmoniously with yellow gold and rose gold. Wear your vermeil earrings with a rose gold ring or a yellow gold necklace to create a contrasted, refined look. The key is to play with balance in volume and finish to allow each piece to shine.
