Vermeil: Everyday Elegance
At Assaya Jewelry, every piece is crafted with care – from the design to the choice of materials. For my collections, I chose a noble, radiant metal that’s especially kind to your skin: vermeil.
In this article, I’d love to share what makes this metal so unique – and why it lies at the heart of my creations.
1. What is vermeil?
Vermeil is made of 925 silver (also known as sterling silver), coated with a thick layer of 18k gold, at least 3 microns thick. It has the elegance of gold, the softness of silver, and a finish far more refined than regular gold plating.
The result: a luminous piece of jewelry, rich in texture – and perfectly suited to sensitive skin.
Vermeil is naturally hypoallergenic, with no nickel or harsh materials.
2. Why vermeil at Assaya?
This metal meets all my standards: quality, beauty, comfort.
It enhances the shapes I design, catches the light with subtlety, and brings out every detail.
Vermeil perfectly embodies the modern elegance I aim to express with Assaya: delicate, expressive jewelry to wear every day or to elevate a special occasion.
3. Its everyday strengths
✨ Long-lasting shine: Thanks to its thick gold layer, vermeil retains its brilliance much longer than gold plating.
💎 Affordable luxury: It offers the look and feel of solid gold, at a much softer price.
💪🏼 Durable and hypoallergenic: Ideal for daily wear, even on sensitive skin.
4. A responsible choice
At Assaya Jewelry, I choose to work with skilled artisans in a respectful and fair environment. The metals are carefully sourced with a responsible approach, so I can offer you pieces that are as ethical as they are beautiful.
5. Vermeil creations by Assaya
The Buenos Aires necklace and the Sydney bracelet are two signature pieces from my vermeil collection.
The former blends elegance and movement, with a warm glow reminiscent of Argentine sunsets.
The latter, with its clean lines and structured design, adds a soft, contemporary touch.
These pieces are made to accompany you through your days and your special moments – jewelry that you wear, that lives with you, and that tells a story.
In conclusion:
Choosing vermeil means choosing beauty and fairness: a noble, hypoallergenic, radiant metal.
It reflects what I strive to convey through my jewelry – a sense of refinement, an elegance that rests delicately on the skin.
With Assaya Jewelry, each piece is the perfect blend of tradition and modernity, made to shine close to you.
Take a look at the collection… and tell me: which vermeil piece has caught your eye?
