GOLD VERMEIL STYLISED SUN SYMBOL PENDANT
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery
I'm in love with this new Gold Vermeil sun symbol pendant! Fabulous style, open in the centre. Perfect for this summer, the look of Gold for all you sun worshippers without the price. Great for wearing on holiday while leaving your more valuable jewels safely at home. A fantastic layering piece.
This listing is for the pendant only; if a chain is also required I recommend this one. Also available in Sterling Silver.
In Africa, The Tiv people consider the Sun to be the son of the Moon Awondo's daughter and the supreme being Awondo. Some Sara people also worship the Sun. The ancient Egyptian god of creation, Amun is also believed to reside inside the sun. Also in Egypt, there was a religion that worshipped the Sun directly and was among the first monotheistic religions: Atenism. The earliest deities associated with the Sun are all goddesses: Wadjet, Sekhmet, Hathor, Nut, Bast, Bat, and Menhit.
Vermeil is a process where a layer of gold coats the surface of Sterling Silver. As the jewellery is not 100% solid Gold, extra care should be taken to maximize its lifespan. Anything plated will eventually tarnish with time and wear.
Do not spray on perfume or other sprays while wearing your Gold vermeil jewellery.
Wait until your lotion or cream is dry or has been absorbed by your skin before you wear your Gold vermeil ring, bracelet or necklace.
Substances like oil, nail polish, nail polish remover, chlorine, and perfume may react with vermeil jewellery and cause it to tarnish. This is also true for water and sweat, so make sure you remove your Gold vermeil jewellery when you exercise, shower, or swim.
After every use, clean your vermeil jewellery with a cotton ball or a very soft cloth to remove any dust and dirt. Do *not* use a polishing cloth as this will strip away the plating.
To avoid scratches, wrap your jewellery in a soft cloth after cleaning or keep it in a jewellery box separate from your other jewellery.
