GOLD VERMEIL

Pronounced ‘ver-may’, the gold-plating technique we're known for (as the pioneers of demi-fine) starts out as a sterling silver base which is electroplated with a thick 2.5 microns of solid gold.

18K GOLD PLATED

All of our high-quality and super durable gold-plated pieces are electroplated onto brass – with the same method as vermeil. We use a thick two microns of gold, never 'flash plating' with a minimal amount of real gold.

SILVER-PLATED

These pieces are plated with durable rhodium on brass, and – like the rest of our jewelry – a layer of anti-tarnish on top for a long-lasting finish.

FAQS

What types of metals are used in Missoma jewelry?

We craft by hand with a variety of high-quality metals, including 18k gold vermeil, 18k gold plating, sterling silver, and 14k solid gold.

Is Missoma's gold and silver recycled?

Yes, we use 100% certified recycled gold and silver in our jewelry pieces, ensuring sustainability without compromising on quality.

What is 18k gold vermeil?

18k gold vermeil is a thick layer of 18k gold over sterling silver, offering a luxurious look and long-lasting wear.

How do you pronounce 'vermeil'?

It's pronounced 'ver-may'.

What is the difference between 18k gold vermeil and 18k gold plating?

All our gold vermeil jewelry in the UK is stamped with the '925' mark to indicate the sterling silver purity. The plating process is different as well — gold vermeil is plated with a process known as ‘electrolysis’, making the jewelry very durable. All our pieces are tested by the Assay Office (which tests the purity of precious metals), as required by law.

Gold-plated jewelry, on the other hand, involves a base metal – brass in our case – which is plated with a layer of gold. It's more affordable but less durable compared to gold vermeil.

How durable is sterling silver?

Sterling silver is extremely durable but can tarnish over time without proper care. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth will help maintain its shine.

How should I care for my Missoma metal jewelry?

To keep your metal jewelry looking its best, clean it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing it to water, perfumes, and chemicals to prevent tarnishing or damage.

How should I store my Missoma jewelry?

Store your jewelry in a soft pouch or lined box, away from direct sunlight and other metals to prevent scratches or tarnishing.

Can I wear my Missoma metal jewelry every day?

Our gold, silver and solid gold pieces are made for everyone. We do recommend removing them during activities that expose them to water or chemicals to ensure longevity.

Does Missoma gold and silver jewelry come with a warranty?

Yes, all of our jewelry comes with a two-year warranty.
