How to Care for Gold Vermeil, Moissanite & Lab-Grown Diamond Jewelry

Fine jewelry is meant to be worn and loved — and with proper care, your Vermae pieces can maintain their brilliance for years.

Because our jewelry is crafted from gold vermeil over sterling silver, proper care is essential to preserve its beauty.

✨ How to Care for Gold Vermeil Jewelry

Gold vermeil is a thick layer of gold over solid sterling silver. While durable, it requires mindful care to prevent premature fading or tarnish.

💧 Avoid Water Exposure

Remove your jewelry before:

• Showering
• Swimming (pool or ocean)
• Exercising
• Washing dishes

Water and moisture can accelerate oxidation of the silver base beneath the gold layer.

🧴 Avoid Chemicals & Friction

Keep jewelry away from:

• Perfume
• Lotion
• Sunscreen
• Hairspray
• Cleaning products

Always apply beauty products first — then put your jewelry on last.

📦 Store Properly

Proper storage significantly extends the life of vermeil jewelry.

✔ Store in a dry jewelry box
✔ Keep away from humidity
✔ Use soft pouches to prevent scratches
✔ Store pieces separately to avoid friction

Avoid leaving jewelry in bathrooms where moisture levels are high.

💎 Caring for Moissanite & Lab-Grown Diamonds

Moissanite and lab-grown diamonds are extremely durable and will not lose their sparkle under normal wear.

To clean stones:

1️⃣ Use warm water + mild soap
2️⃣ Gently brush with a soft toothbrush
3️⃣ Pat dry with a lint-free cloth

Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.

🔥 Will Gold Vermeil Tarnish?

Over time, natural oxidation may occur, especially if:

• Exposed to sweat
• Worn daily without removal
• Stored improperly
• Exposed to chemicals

This is normal and not a defect.

With proper care, gold vermeil can maintain its shine for years.

🧽 How to Clean Vermeil Jewelry

To safely clean your jewelry:

✔ Use a soft, dry polishing cloth
✔ Gently wipe after wearing
✔ Avoid abrasive materials

Do NOT use:

✖ Jewelry dips
✖ Ultrasonic cleaners
✖ Harsh polishing compounds

These can strip the gold layer.

🏖 Traveling With Jewelry

When traveling:

✔ Use a travel jewelry case
✔ Keep pieces separated
✔ Avoid tossing jewelry loosely into bags

Friction is one of the fastest ways to wear down plating.

💍 Daily Care Routine (Recommended)

For best longevity:

1️⃣ Put jewelry on last
2️⃣ Remove before water exposure
3️⃣ Wipe gently after wear
4️⃣ Store in a dry place

This simple routine dramatically extends the life of your pieces.
