Understanding Gold Vermeil
What is Gold Vermeil? Gold vermeil (pronounced "ver-may") is a premium jewellery finish featuring a substantial layer of 18-carat gold electroplated over sterling silver. Unlike standard gold plating, vermeil requires a thicker gold layer applied exclusively over sterling silver, ensuring superior quality, longevity, and tarnish resistance while offering the rich, warm appearance of solid gold at a more accessible price point.
 
The Art of Memory Keeping
Lockets have captured hearts for centuries as intimate vessels for our most treasured photographs and mementos. This luxurious interpretation honors that beautiful tradition while adding the distinctive brilliance and golden warmth that makes this piece truly special. The carefully proportioned oval shape provides the perfect canvas for both the sparkle effect and the precious memories you'll keep within.
 
Signature Sparkle Effect in Gold
What creates this mesmerising golden brilliance? Rebecca's signature sparkle effect is achieved through precise traditional metalsmithing techniques that create countless microscopic facets across the sterling silver surface before the gold vermeil application. Like a constellation of tiny golden mirrors, these facets capture and reflect light from every angle, ensuring your locket shimmers with warm, golden radiance as it moves with you throughout the day.
This specialised technique requires exceptional skill and patience, with each section individually worked to achieve the perfect balance of texture and brilliance—transforming an already meaningful piece into something truly extraordinary.
 
Perfect Proportions
The thoughtfully sized 14mm x 11mm oval strikes the ideal balance between intimate charm and elegant presence. Large enough to hold cherished photographs or small mementos, yet delicate enough for everyday wear, this locket becomes a personal talisman that carries both beauty and meaning in luxurious golden warmth.
 
Complete with Matching Chain
Your locket comes complete with an 18" gold vermeil figaro chain, chosen for its classic elegance and perfect proportions that complement the locket's size. The figaro chain's distinctive alternating pattern adds visual interest while ensuring the locket sits beautifully at the ideal length—close to your heart where memories belong, all in matching golden luxury.
 
Timeless Luxury
Whether holding a photograph of a loved one, a pressed flower from a special moment, or a tiny handwritten note, this locket adapts to hold whatever memories matter most to you. The combination of sparkle effect and gold vermeil ensures it's beautiful enough for the most special occasions while meaningful enough for everyday elegance.
