How long does the gold layer on vermeil last?Updated 21 days ago
With normal daily wear, the gold layer typically lasts 2–5 years. Factors like how often you wear it, exposure to water and chemicals, and your skin chemistry all affect the lifespan. You can extend it significantly by removing your piece before bathing or swimming, and by applying perfume and lotions before putting your jewelry on.
If the plating breaks down within 6 months of purchase, we treat that as a manufacturing defect and will replace or credit your piece under our warranty. After 6 months, we offer a professional replating service for $99 AUD to restore it to its original beauty.
