Wendy's Words The Fire Drop 14K gold vermeil necklace is engraved with unique flames around the bezel. I wanted a design with effortless style that would accent the semi precious gemstone that represented each charity while having a distinctive twist to let you know you are doing more to help those around you. The large blue topaz, rhodolite, and peridot make for a stunning inspirational necklace that I like to layer with the handcrafted Surge Necklace.

Product Care Matte Finished 14K Gold Vermeil: Vermeil is defined as an overlay of gold on sterling silver. This ensures a quality metal as opposed to base medals under your gold. Because of its plating, vermeil should never be polished. If severe tarnish is occurring from the sterling silver tarnishing beneath your gold, an ultrasonic cleaning can be used on a limited basis. To avoid these future tarnishing problems, we have added a palladium layer between our sterling silver and gold. Palladium is part of the platinum family and prevents the silver under our gold from tarnishing for a number of years. Your vermeil will look beautiful for a long time to come, just remember to protect it in your anti-tarnish felt bag to avoid scratching, chemicals, hairspray, and make-up. * For more info, please visit our Product Care page.
