Vermeil, made of silver and gold
Aside from the high jewelry collections, Charlotte CHESNAIS jewels are made of vermeil, an ancestral alloy of massive silver covered in gold. The precious metal is recognisable from its guarantee “V” stamp, which attests to a 5 micron layer of 18 karat gold, 5 times thicker than most gold plated jewelry.
The Power of Vermeil, the best gold-colored jewelry
Unlike other metals used in jewelry, like brass or bronze, silver does not rust, is not allergenic, and can bear an infinite number of successive gold layers.
The patina of time
Although particularly resistant, vermeil can develop a patina and oxidise (a natural process inherent to silver). It carries the unique imprint of the moments it has shared with you. If maintained, Charlotte CHESNAIS jewelry can last forever, and be passed down through generations.
We recommend that you remove your jewelry before washing your hands, showering or going to bed — we promise, it will be waiting for you on your bedside table next to your favorite novel.
Nobody puts baby in the corner. To prevent natural oxidation, avoid leaving your jewelry in an enclosed space without any light.
To ensure that your jewelry is not gasping for air, store it in a well-ventilated place.
No beauty products on these beauties: avoid contact with creams, perfume, and hydroalcoholic gel; your skin may like them, your jewelry, not so much.
Looking dull? Polish your jewelry regularly with the soft cloth provided with your purchase to keep it shiny.
