Vermeil is a material that combines the elegance of gold with the richness of precious metal. Composed of a 925 silver base covered with a layer of gold, it represents the perfect balance between quality, aesthetics, and durability.
Did you know that vermeil takes its name from the Old French word "vermeil," which originally referred to the color red or pink, in reference to the warm hue that gold imparts to the metal? It's an ancient technique dating back centuries, already used in the 17th century to adorn royal and sacred objects. At the time, this method allowed silver objects to achieve a brilliance and opulence similar to that of gold jewelry, while being more affordable.
In the world of jewelry, vermeil is a true alchemy. It offers a luminous brilliance while retaining the depth and substance of silver. Its warm, lustrous color allows for the creation of jewelry that is both luxurious and accessible, embodying timeless values.

At Valois Varden, we choose vermeil for its exceptional qualities. It symbolizes not only the sophistication of each creation, but also the idea of encapsulating emotions in unique pieces. Each jewel is a work of art, a perfect marriage of craftsmanship and precious metal, worn to celebrate life's precious moments.
