Layered Necklaces

An easy way to tell if a sustainable necklace is made from vermeil is by looking for its 925 marking. The number indicates that the jewellery is made of 92.5% silver. When the label is present in your gold necklace, then you’ll know it’s vermeil.

Jewellery may tarnish over time, which is why taking care of that new heirloom necklace, gold choker necklace, or any other pieces of jewellery you just bought is important. 

Avoid exposing your piece while spraying fragrance, applying lotions or other cosmeceutical products, or immersing in salt or freshwater.

At Dear Letterman, our handcrafted pieces are made with the highest quality materials available. Each piece clearly outlines the materials used in its design.

Yes, you can wear your gold chain necklace, evil eye necklace, and choker necklace that you buy from us in the rain. However, these products aren’t 100% waterproof, and deposits from regular tap water could cause your necklace collection to look dull over time. So although you can always bathe with your favourite silver necklace, we don’t recommend it as it can hasten its degradation.

The jewellery pieces that we provide, specifically our necklaces, are considered hypoallergenic as they are made with precious metals. Most people who wear our necklaces won’t experience a negative reaction.

Getting a necklace like a gold men’s chain necklace from Dear Letterman provides you with a piece of high-quality jewellery that you can bring wherever you go. Not only is this type of jewellery durable, but it’s quite affordable as well. Despite this affordability, we never compromise on quality. At Dear Letterman, you can count on us to provide excellent value for your money.

If we had to compare plated to vermeil, the latter is definitely the better choice. The main reason for this is that plated jewellery does not come with an industry-standard on gold thickness. This means that you might purchase an item that only has minimal plating and will wear down in just a few months.

But when you get a gold necklace from our shop, you can be sure that your product follows the proper standards, giving you a high-quality and durable jewellery piece.

Although our gold vermeil may go through the same process as that of gold-plated jewellery, they do not have the same characteristics overall. Our necklaces have a legal definition, but gold-plated jewellery can come in any form so long as they’re plated in gold.

Furthermore, our gold necklaces have been found to last longer simply because they are made with higher-quality materials. Because of this, there’s a significantly lower chance that your necklace will tarnish or fade throughout the years.

Since gold-plated jewellery doesn’t have an industry standard for how thick it should be, the quality of jewellery for this type of format can vary significantly in terms of quality.

Here are some tips you should follow to take care of your necklaces, whether they’re gold necklaces for men or gold necklaces for women:

Take your jewellery off before getting into the pool, taking a shower, or getting a bath.

Don’t expose your piece to harsh chemicals, including bleach and chlorine.

Store your jewellery in an airtight container when you’re not using them to prevent oxidation.

Always use a clean microfiber or cotton cloth when cleaning your jewellery. Ensure you clean the entire necklace length.
