Gold plating or Gold vermeil Service

Many (if not all) of our items are perfect for gold plating. Please add this item if you wish the jewellery you are purchasing to be gold plated. Please specify whether you want yellow or rose gold plating when making the order. This add-on can only be used for items purchased from Mon Bijoux and we ask that you message us first to ensure the product you have selected is suitable for plating.

The gold plating is just a standard gold plating on top of our solid silver products, the gold vermeil is a 2.5 microns of gold plating and will last much longer than the standard gold plating.

If the product is suitable for engraving the option will be visible for you to select when adding the product to your cart and you can add your engraving instructions in the notes field on the cart page. In this instance, please specify whether you’d like a BLOCK or a SCRIPT font. We will choose best positioning/font if not specified.

For LOCKETS:
The max number of chars per line to make it legible:

Small locket: 6 chars
Medium Locket: 8 chars
Large Locket: 10 chars

Need more engraving or any help, just message us!

You can also have your own handwriting, a simple drawing or design copied directly onto the jewellery. Please get in touch if you would like this bespoke service or if you require more intricate and elaborate fonts or designs.

Please allow an additional week for any more complicated or intricate engravings.

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).
