Gold vermeil lockets are rapidly gaining popularity as the savvy choice for those seeking the allure of real gold jewelry without breaking the bank. This exquisite jewelry option boasts numerous advantages that make it the next best thing to a solid gold locket necklace ensuring you get both quality and value for your investment.  First and foremost, gold vermeil offers an enticing blend of affordability and luxury. Crafted with a base of sterling silver and coated with a thick layer of genuine gold, gold vermeil lockets exude the same opulent look as solid gold pieces. This process allows you to enjoy the glamour and prestige of a solid gold locket necklace at a fraction of the cost.

Durability is another key factor. Gold vermeil lockets are crafted to withstand everyday wear and tear, thanks to their sturdy silver core. The thick gold layer also provides protection against tarnishing, ensuring your locket maintains its brilliance over time. For those with sensitive skin, gold vermeil is a blessing. Its sterling silver core is hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for those prone to allergies or skin sensitivities.

Additionally, by choosing gold vermeil lockets, you're making an eco-conscious decision. The process uses less gold than traditional solid gold jewelry, reducing the environmental impact without compromising on style. If you seek the opulence of real gold without the high price tag, durability, hypoallergenic properties, and an eco-friendly option, gold vermeil lockets are your next best choice. Explore our exquisite collection today and elevate your style with these stunning pieces.

Hallmarking Policy:

By UK law any silver items i.e. Sterling silver, fine silver etc that weighs over 7.78 grams MUST be hallmarked. We are registered with the Assay Office in London, England and every piece of our jewellery over 7.78 grams has our 'sponsor' mark as well as the Assay Office mark and a mark to confirm the silver content - 925 for sterling and 999 for fine silver. This gives reassurance that what you are buying is indeed genuine silver. If you are purchasing something under 7.78 grams we can arrange hallmarking at your request but please note this will incur extra cost & will take longer to process.

We are often asked, 'what is the best way to keep silver from tarnishing' or for info on the best way 'to keep silver shiny'. The answer is simple, you either (1) wear it, (2) store it in a ziplock bag or (3) polish it. In no specific order, polishing your jewellery is an obvious one. There is nothing that I can think of that doesn't get dirty, and jewellery is no exception. So from time to time, it's going to need a clean (take a look at our polishing cloths for a great way to clean silver, gold and platinum).
