Vermeil St. Christopher
Our classic St. Christopher medals plated in gold
What is "vermeil"? Vermeil is the process of plating sterling silver with gold.
How is vermeil different from gold-plate? Gold-plating is done on a variety of inexpensive base metals, whereas vermeil is done on quality sterling silver.
How long will the gold finish last? Vermeil items have a thicker layer of gold than standard gold plated items. However, like all plated items the finish will wear over time. How long it lasts depends on how often it is worn, and how it is cared for.
Tips for care: avoid chemicals and cosmetics.
I don't see the size and color I am looking for. Just about any size and color in the St. Christopher collection may be special ordered in a vermeil version. Simply give us a ring and we can take care of it for you!
Are the enameled St. Christophers available in solid gold? Although St. Christophers are available in 14kt, the enameled versions are not. The glass based enamel relies on the "white" background that silver provides for clarity of color. The yellow color of gold interferes with the enamel shades.
