Vermeil Gold Plating Process

Vermeil gold plating is a craft that marries sterling silver with luxurious gold. To achieve this exquisite finish, sterling silver undergoes multiple steps. First, the silver is meticulously cleaned and prepped to ensure a flawless base. Next, a thick layer of at least 2.5 microns of pure gold is expertly bonded to the silver using a specific method such as electroplating. This precise process results in a lavish and enduring gold coating that elevates the beauty and durability of your jewellery pieces to new heights.

18 Carat Gold Plating Process

Dive into the world of radiant allure with the complex process of 18 carat gold plating. This technique involves bonding a substantial layer of 75% pure gold with 25% other metals onto the jewelry surface. The jewelry piece is carefully cleaned and prepared to create a perfect surface for the gold bonding. Through advanced plating methods like electroplating, the gold layer is fused onto the base metal, ensuring a luxurious, durable, and lustrous finish. The meticulous craftsmanship behind 18 carat gold plating guarantees a stunning and long-lasting golden sheen that embodies extravagance and sophistication.

Adventure Hats

Hey there, hat enthusiast! Your 100% wool fedora hat is a true style statement, and it deserves a little TLC to keep it looking sharp. Here are a few care tips to ensure your hat stays dapper.

Tips

1. Store away out of harsh sunlight – just like us, wool can be sensitive to fading, especially if it's rocking a vibrant hue.

2. If your hat decides to take on a quirky shape, don't fret! Simply give it a little steamy spa treatment. Pop it over the steam of a hot jug (careful not to singe those fingertips!) and let the steam work its magic. Once it's pliable, shape the brim to suit your fancy.

3. Should your hat encounter a dusty adventure or a stray mark, fear not! Grab a soft damp cloth and give it a gentle wipe-down. Your fedora will thank you with a tip-top appearance.

With these care tips, your wool fedora hat will stay in tip-top shape, ready to accompany you on all your adventures.
