These earrings are smooth to the touch, entirely handmade, and hollowed to avoid weight discomfort. My inspiration was a throwback to the mod shapes of the 60s, the swinging earrings of the 70s, and the statement looks of the 80s. Wear them with almost anything - they add a hint of understated glam to myriad outfits!
Gold vermeil is an overlay of gold over a base of sterling silver. The gold colour will age gracefully as the piece lightens to a 10K gold or warm silver colour. The rate of aging depends on care, climate and individual body chemistry, and may vary greatly on a case by case basis. As rings are worn on the hand, and are exposed to more frequent rubbing, they will often age more quickly than necklaces or earrings.
To extend the gold colour of your vermeil pieces, remove when washing hands, showering, applying lotions or perfumes, using cleansers, or working out. Store your jewelry in a dry place, preferably in individual air-tight bags. Do not use chemical jewelry cleansers or polishing cloths on gold vermeil jewelry.
