This is a pair of lovely 5mm Gold Vermeil ball studs, stamped 925. Comes with Gold Vermeil butterfly backs. Ideal for first, second, third, piercings or top of the ear; perfect for school. Every day or occasional wear. The look of Gold without the price; these are Sterling Silver with a coating of 18ct Yellow Gold.
Vermeil is the name given to Gold-plated Silver. Depending on how the jewellery is cared for and what chemicals and elements it comes in contact with, Vermeil should retain its golden look for 0several years. However, over time, as with all plating, eventually the coating will begin to wear and the Silver underneath will be seen. Although you will be left with what is still a precious metal item, if you wish to preserve the plating, avoid household detergents, particularly chlorine which can be present in tap water; remove your jewellery before swimming, bathing or showering. It is a simple matter to have items re-plated.
