18k vermeil is a type of gold plating that consists of a thick layer of 18-karat gold bonded onto a base metal, typically sterling silver. It is considered a high-quality gold plating option. Compared to other gold options, such as solid gold or gold-filled jewelry, 18k vermeil offers a balance between affordability and luxury. While solid gold is more durable and long-lasting, 18k vermeil provides a similar look and feel at a more accessible price point. In terms of most durable to least durable, solid gold will wear the best, then gold-fill and then 18k vermeil. 18k vermeil will last a lot longer than a typical gold plated piece of jewelry.

Yes, 18k vermeil rings are suitable for everyday wear. However, it's important to note that, like any plated jewelry, the gold layer can wear off over time with frequent use. Taking proper care of your 18k vermeil rings will help maintain their appearance and longevity. We highly recommend not wearing them when washing your hands or in any other source of water and keeping them in a little plastic baggie or some other type of storage that isn’t in the open air to prevent tarnishing.

We offer a range of sizes to accommodate different preferences and finger sizes. Unfortunately, we cannot offer customization in sizing for our 18k vermeil rings outside of the sizes we offer online due to the nature of the gold plating.

To care for and clean your 18k vermeil rings, it's advisable to remove them before activities that may cause damage, such as swimming, showering, washing your hands or using harsh chemicals.

After cleaning, pat them dry with a soft cloth and store them in a separate jewelry box or pouch to prevent scratching and tarnishing. The least amount of contact with water and air when you’re not enjoying your pieces will increase the longevity of the 18k vermeil.
