Everyday Wear

A few simple habits go a long way in keeping gold vermeil looking its best. Put your jewellery on last, after moisturiser, makeup and perfume, so it isn't exposed to these products directly. Worn regularly, gold vermeil actually holds up better against tarnish, not worse — so there's no need to save it for special occasions. Just remember to take pieces off before exercising, showering, swimming, or washing your hands.

Storing Your Pieces

An air-tight jewellery box or container is best, ideally with dividers so pieces aren't touching and scratching one another. If you live somewhere humid, it's worth keeping a small packet of desiccant crystals in the box alongside your jewellery to help protect it.
