Bagues en vermeil or jaune

Yellow gold vermeil is a specific type of gold-finished jewelry made from a 925 sterling silver base coated in real gold, meeting a minimum thickness standard of 2.5 microns. It is legally distinct from a standard gold plate, which uses thinner gold over lower-quality base metals.

Yes, yellow gold vermeil rings are durable for everyday wear with standard care. The sterling silver base and thicker gold layer hold up better than standard gold plate under regular use. Remove the ring before swimming, cleaning, and direct contact with perfumes or lotions to maintain the finish long term. Full guidance is available on our Jewelry Care Guide.

No, yellow gold vermeil is not the same as solid yellow gold. Solid 14K yellow gold is gold throughout at 58.5% gold content, making it the most durable long-term choice for daily ring wear.

Yellow gold vermeil rings last longest when kept away from water, perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemical cleaners. Remove before swimming, showering, and cleaning. Store separately from other jewelry to avoid surface scratching. Clean gently with a soft cloth rather than abrasive materials. With standard care, Aquamarise® yellow gold vermeil rings maintain their finish well across regular wear.
