KING ME Jewelry comes standard in vermeil and, by request, in 10-24k solid gold. Our jewelry is "real" in the sense that we use pure sterling silver and/or solid gold as base metals under gold finish. In comparison, our jewelry is made of the same material Tiffany & Co., Pandora, and Cartier, just to name a few.

The gold finish may fade or scratch with normal wear over time. We offer services to refurbish your jewelry should you need gold finishing & to restore the brand new look. 

•  Everyone is different and thus we cannot say whether or not you will react to jewelry we sell, or in general. We follow regulations to ensure our jewelry is produced with the highest quality manufacturing and by honest standards.
• We suggest checking with your doctor to determine your jewelry tolerance & potential reaction to certain metals.
• Our jewelry comes standard in vermeil or solid gold (depending on which you purchase) and more specifically, this is labeled on every product page, as it varies.
• In general, sterling silver without gold finish & 24k gold are the purest metals and can pretty closely guarantee no reaction, in the case of sensitivities. A note about 24k gold though, is that it's a very soft metal and is not durable for everyday wear.

• Typically, vermeil is a type of gold finished material that is composed of a layer of gold over solid sterling silver. Industry standards dictate that the gold portion must be 10 karats or above for a piece to be considered vermeil in the U.S., but most high-quality pieces are 14, 18 or 24 karats depending on the thickness of the jewelry. We usually finish in 14-18k.
• If you want to build a collection of high-quality jewelry without the pure gold price tag, gold vermeil is a fantastic option. 
• Vermeil usually looks like gold to the naked eye, making it a great alternative for those who can't afford pure gold jewelry. You can also shine it up to give it a beautiful gloss, or leave it to fade for a vintage look.
• Unlike other gold jewelry, vermeil is usually thinner, and the gold layer is achieved by using gold leaf or powder instead of a sheet of gold.
• Another key factor here is that a vermeil piece must have a sterling silver base (instead of brass or cheaper metals).

• Gold finish is not to be confused with gold plating. Gold finish is a high-quality process of gold layer over pure and quality metals such as sterling silver or solid gold. Industry standards dictate that the gold portion must be 10 karats or above for a piece to be considered high quality (for vermeil, for example) in the U.S., but most high-quality pieces are 14, 18 or 24 karats depending on the thickness of the jewelry. We usually finish in 14-18k.
• Gold finish is achieved by using gold leaf or powder instead of a sheet of gold.
• In gold plating, any metal can be used as the base, and the gold layer can be of varying levels of purity. 
• Gold plated pieces are cheaper than vermeil jewelry as they use any metal to create the core for the plating.
• *we do not sell gold plated jewelry. We offer gold finish over vermeil and solid gold only*

*we do not sell gold plated jewelry, this information is for educational purposes only.*

•   In gold plating, any metal can be used as the base, and the gold layer can be of varying levels of purity. This will result in a variety of thicknesses for the gold coating.
• Gold plated pieces are cheaper than vermeil jewelry as they use any metal to create the core for the plating.
• This can be steel or brass, which is dipped in gold to form a thin layer of gold plating. However, the coating can wear out eventually, leaving your jewelry with the base only.

• It's an actual layer of gold-pressure bonded to another metal. Gold filled is not to be confused with gold plating, (*we do not sell gold plated jewelry, this information is for educational purposes only.*) as filled literally has 100% more gold than gold plating.
• Gold filled is much more valuable and tarnish resistant. It does not flake off, rub off or turn colors. As a matter of fact, most who can wear gold can wear gold filled with limited worries of reaction to the jewelry.
• Gold filled jewelry is an economical alternative to solid gold.
• Due to limited availability, our gold filled collection is small but we add this option for new pieces often.

• Vermeil jewelry can be a great and durable alternative to solid gold pieces. 
• We are a trusted seller when looking to purchase a vermeil piece.
• You will certainly love the look and feel of vermeil jewelry, especially once you understand what it is, it's quality, and how to care for it. 
• It's one of those pieces you should never overlook when upgrading your jewelry box.

• While our jewelry is very durable and many customers brag about being able to wear and "never" take off, we advise avoiding direct and prolonged contact with dust, pollution, cosmetics, water, lotions, perfumes, and chemicals. It's suggested to remove jewelry before taking a shower or swimming.
• We recommend storing your jewelry in the tarnish-proof box or bag we provide. Storing one piece per airtight container will help prevent oxidation.
• To clean your jewelry, use a clean cotton or microfiber cloth to buff it gently. Do not use chemical cleaners as they can easily strip the gold finish.
• Over time, the gold layer is likely to fade. This is a common and natural property that adds a unique sense of character to the piece but can also be refurbished. Don't fret when that happens, read below for information on refinishing and refurbishing.
