The birds are chirping, the buds are budding and spring is in the air! Or it will be soon, I promise. OK, OK, I might be getting a bit ahead of myself. But you’d be excited too if you’d just come back from previewing the samples for our Sparkling Spring Bracelet. This jaw-dropping jewelry is absolutely swimming with spring color in the form of crisp sky blue topaz, luscious purple amethyst and verdant green peridot offset by rounds of sparkling white topaz. But color and sparkle aside, the first thing that struck me was the quality. These are ample cuts of genuine natural gemstones, and the Brazilian artisans who designed these pieces knew what they were doing when they set them in 18k gold vermeil.
In order to be classified as vermeil, certain qualifications must be met: The base metal must be sterling silver, the gold content must be at least 10k (we went much higher) and the plating must be at least 2.5 microns thick. This means you’re getting a higher gold content with exceptional durability — the perfect treatment for these brilliant stones. So, whether you’re yearning for a breath of spring or searching for the perfect piece of amethyst to celebrate a February birthday, you can’t go wrong with this luxurious jewelry. But supply is extremely limited, so don’t hibernate too long — this sensation could pass you by!
