Beyond Gold Plating: The Art of Esquivel and Fees Gold Vermeil

At Esquivel and Fees, we believe that every original design deserves a finish that matches its sculptural integrity. While many jewelry brands offer "gold plating," we choose to work with Gold Vermeil—a superior, professional-grade alternative that offers the look and feel of solid gold with significantly enhanced durability.

What Makes Our Gold Vermeil Different? Standard gold-plated jewelry often involves a thin, flash-layer of gold over inexpensive base metals like brass or nickel. In contrast, our Gold Vermeil must meet rigorous standards to earn its name:

Precious Metal Core: We never use base metals. Every piece of our vermeil starts with a hand-cast core of solid .925 Sterling Silver, ensuring your jewelry is composed entirely of precious metals.
Heavy Gold Deposition: While standard plating is often less than 0.5 microns thick, our vermeil features a heavy layer of 14k Gold. This substantial thickness is what gives our jewelry its rich, deep luster and remarkable resistance to wear.
Built for Longevity: Because of this "heavy-coat" process, our Gold Vermeil is far more durable than common gold plating. It is designed to withstand daily wear while maintaining its brilliant golden finish for years to come.
Hypoallergenic Integrity: By using only high-quality gold over sterling silver, our vermeil is an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin who typically avoid lower-grade plated fashion jewelry.

Personalization

Our artisans are pleased to offer bespoke customization to make these earrings a truly personal treasure. You may select optional genuine stone accents in any color—perhaps blue sapphires to mirror the flower’s natural brilliance—or choose custom engraving for a unique signature. While presented in 14k gold vermeil, this design can also be meticulously crafted in .925 sterling silver, as well as 14k or 18k yellow, white, and rose gold. Please contact us for a personalized quote on alternative metal selections or special earring hardware requirements.
