Solid metal, always restorable.
Cast by hand. Small casting imperfections are intentional, part of the handcrafted process.
Oxidized by hand. Oxidizing the silver gives each one a unique hand-finished detail.
Made to wear in. 24K gold vermeil is designed to wear into a distressed, raw look. On the high points that touch the most, it wears through to reveal the silver underneath.
Still changing. The oxidation of the silver and the vermeil continues naturally with time.
Take it off first. Chlorine, salt water, and sweat dull silver and wear vermeil.
Keep it clear. Perfume, lotion, and cleaners go on before it does.
Store it dry. A pouch or a closed box, away from the bathroom.
Clean silver gently. Warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. Dry it fully.
Vermeil: dry cloth only. Silver polish and dip cleaners damage the gold.
Never dip it. The black in the recesses is the finish, not tarnish. A silver dip strips it.
