JEWELLERY
Gold vermeil (pronounced “ver-may”) is a term used to describe sterling silver metal that has been plated with gold. To be considered gold vermeil the base metal must be sterling silver and the gold must be at least 10ct, and around 1.5 microns thick.
Gold vermeil is a fantastic metal because whilst it is closely comparable in appearance to solid gold, it is significantly more affordable and is still of high quality. Gold vermeil jewellery is also safe for people with nickel allergies or sensitivity to other metals.

BIRTHSTONES
Since our designs are set with semi-precious gemstones we do not have a birthstone available for every month. However, we have suggested the perfect alternative based on the colour quality for each stone and the similarity this has to the standard birthstone for that month. The suggestions are based on our personal recommendations. Please refer to the table below.
| Month | Traditional Birthstone | Our Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| January | Garnet | Garnet is the gemstone for January and beautiful Rhodolite is the purplish–red to intense pink variety of this gemstone family. It is also said to represent friendship and bring the wearer luck. |
| February | Amethyst | From delicate pale lilac to rich and intense purple, Amethyst is said to be the calming and balancing stone from the quartz family and is the traditional birthstone for February. |
| March | Aquamarine | With its beautiful and elegant blue colour, Blue Topaz is our suggestion for the perfect alternative to Aquamarine, which is the traditional Birthstone for March. |
| April | Diamond | Diamond is the traditional Birthstone for April and we think the perfect alternative would be versatile Rock Crystal, which is the clear variety of quartz, and like diamonds, can be worn with everything! |
| May | Emerald | Emerald is the traditional Birthstone for springtime May, but Chrysoprase is our beautiful alternative choice with its unique green colour. |
| June | Pearl | Timeless and everlasting, the Pearl is the traditional birthstone for June and due to its classic nature and versatility is considered to be one of the leading ladies of jewellery. |
| July | Ruby | With its purplish-red to intense pink colour, we think Rhodolite is the perfect colour match for Ruby and is our alternative to the traditional July Birthstone. |
| August | Peridot | This beautiful golden green gemstone is the traditional birthstone for August. |
| September | Sapphire | Sapphire is the traditional Birthstone for September and we recommend Iolite as the perfect alternative. Its violet blue colour makes it a perfect match. |
| October | Opal | Given Labradorite’s unique iridescent colour qualities, we recommend it as the beautiful alternative to the traditional Birthstone for October,which is Opal. |
| November | Citrine | This popular gemstone with colours from pale lemon to deep brown and amber is the traditional birthstone for November. |
| December | Topaz | The most elegant member of the topaz family is beautiful Blue Topaz, the perfect birthstone for this special month. |
