Care and Cleaning
With proper care, gold-fill, vermeil and gold-plate are very long lasting. Avoid exposing your jewelry to chemicals such as hairspray, moisturizer and cleaning products.
Never use abrasives on vermeil, gold-plate or gold-fill. Liquid dips and soft polishing cloths are best for cleaning.
