Set of 5 Hammered Two-Tone Bands - Vermeil

Thank you for your wonderful years of support. After much thought and consideration, I will miss design, but I am still doing custom pieces and look forward to my next exciting adventure. At this time, I will be moving to my next phase in life and no longer selling my jewelry.

Materials 14K Gold Vermeil, Sterling Silver
Finish Brushed Matte
Rings Sizes 10, 11, 12, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Simple, comfortable, and with just a hint of hammered texturing, these 14K gold vermeil and sterling silver  stacking rings were designed to be the epitome of sleek, contemporary styling.

My roots as a small town Floridian became apparent in my first collection. While designing, I found myself wanting to give texture to my metal - not just any texture, but texture reminiscent of an alligator pattern. As my model making continued, I found I strayed from my initial idea, a common theme for me, and soon developed a new pattern. I realized it reminded me of little footprints, so I kept the alligator theme. Apparently, the Floridian who was raised on University Florida Gator football, saw a few alligators in her time, and became a UF 'gator' herself didn't stray far from her roots.

Vermeil is defined as an overlay of gold on sterling silver. This ensures a quality metal as opposed to base metals 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. Our vermeil should last you for years, and as it eventually ages, it will begin to have an “antiqued” feel. It will blend nicely with the sterling silver of the piece, and you can continue to polish the sterling separately. When polishing the silver of a two-tone piece, you want to be as careful as possible to avoid the gold plated areas. Usually a polish cream is the best way to have control and avoid the gold as well as any organic gemstones such as turquoise, pearls, or opals.

Lastly, since all tarnishing is caused by oxidation of the metal when it comes in contact with the air, keep your jewelry in its anti-tarnish bag, or in a fairly airtight container like a velvet-lined jewelry box. Your natural body oils will help keep the jewelry clean and polished so most important, remember to wear it!!
