Small Smooth Fragmented Shell Studs - Gold Vermeil

The Small Textured Fragmented Shell Stud’s natural form is taken directly from the remains of a shell washed up on the shore. The intricate sculptural details harmonize with the organic textures which reveal the often overlooked intricacies found in natural raw materials. Reminiscent of the sea and respectful of the Earth. 

Made from fairmined gold vermeil.

Vermeil has been used since the 19th Century and is when a thin layer of gold is applied to a solid sterling silver piece. It makes the jewellery look the same colour as gold but without it being solid therefore a cheaper option for gold looking jewellery without compromising on quality.

All the Gold Vermeil pieces have a thick layer of 18ct yellow gold (on average 3 microns) applied over the top of the silver making it the most durable gold plating option possible- about five times thicker than conventional gold plating.

Normal ‘Gold Plating’ is a very thin layer of gold and can be applied over the top of any base metal which usually isn’t silver and could be hiding a cheap metal such as brass or bronze. Because the jewellery is made to last and of the highest quality, no base metals are used and Hannah only works with solid silver, gold and platinum.
