What is Gold Vermeil?
Not to be confused with gold plate. Vermeil is a technique where the jewellery is made from sterling silver and coated with a thick layer of gold. Our 18k Gold Vermeil jewellery is 2.5 micron thick with gold. This is one of our favourite finishes to use in our jewellery designs as a solid gold alternative and much more affordable. Due to its added thickness gold vermeil is far more durable than gold plating making it more sustainable.
Do you have a showroom?
Yes! Please stop by next time you’re in Melbourne. We can arrange for you to come in our studio and have a look at the products up close and assist you with any question you have.
To arrange for an appointment email, us at hello@lua.studio
Can I wear my Jewellery in the water?
We recommend taking the jewellery off when you shower, swim or surf as it will fade the gold lustre over time. If you happen to wear the jewellery in water from time to time its ok too but please make sure you rinse with fresh water afterwards.

Yes, you can add a note to your order.
Please write a small note and email hello@lua.studio with your request.

We don’t offer engraving, nor do we recommend it on gold vermeil jewellery.
