Rhodium Plated Silver and Gold Vermeil

• What is Gold Vermeil?

  Vermeil is sterling silver that has been plated with a thick layer of gold. It is about 5 times thicker than regular plating. Vermeil is much less susceptible to tarnishing. All our vermeil jewellery is marked with a 925 stamp, referring to the sterling silver base.

• What is Rhodium Plated Silver?

  Our Rhodium plated jewellery is made of a layer of rhodium over sterling silver. It has a 925 stamp showing its sterling silver base. Rhodium holds its shine better than silver and is much more resistant to tarnishing and more scratch proof.

• Care instructions

  While jewellery here at OAT is made to last, its life will depend on how you care for it in your everyday use. To make your jewellery last a long time keep it away from chemicals like cleaning products and chlorine. Take it off before swimming and exercise. Even the chemicals and oils in makeup, perfume and lotions can be damaging over a long time. To keep it from being caught and scratched on zips and clothing your jewellery should be the last thing you put on at the start of the day and the first thing you take off at the end of the day.
