Solid, precious metal that lasts forever. It darkens with time, but can be polished up. Oils from your skin help prevent silver tarnish... so wear it often!
Vermeil (ver - may)
Ease of care: 5/5
More premium than traditional gold plating, vermeil is an extra thick layer of real gold over solid sterling silver. We use 14k or 18k gold depending on the piece.
10k Solid Gold
Ease of care: 5/5
More durable, scratch-resistant and affordable than its 14k counterpart, 10k solid gold offers a softer, subtler tone—ideal for those who prefer a less intense yellow.
Find a tool to use (string, dental floss, headphone cord, measuring tape if you have it).
Find the length by wrapping it around your neck and marking it (for pendants, imagine the jewelry lower, for suspended, it should be in line).
Check the length against a ruler or lay it out flat and measure with a phone app.
Alternatively: Measure an existing necklace end to end with a ruler (most accurate) or a phone app (great if you don’t have a ruler handy).

Cross Charm 10k Solid Gold / No Chain / None
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Beautiful cross
I absolutely love this cross charm! I’m a little picky and have been looking for a dainty, gold cross charm for a few years and this one is exactly what I wanted. I paired it with a birthstone charm and my son’s initial (already owned from another company) I’ve received a lot of compliments already! I also appreciated the beautiful presentation when I opened my order.
