A classic, but statement earring which is light enough to be worn daily. These handmade triple-chain link earrings are available in either recycled sterling silver or gold vermeil. If you would like a hammered texture on the earrings or would like them to be larger please email me! Each earring is approximately 3cm long and is made from 1.5mm round wire. Gold Vermeil pieces consist of a layer of 18ct gold electroplated onto a sterling silver base. Gold Vermeil pieces are made purely from precious metals, unlike gold-plated items, and have a much thicker coating of 18ct gold. Gold Vermeil pieces must have at least a 2.5-micron layer whereas gold-plating only requires a minimum of 0.5 microns. This means the piece contains 5x the gold. 18ct gold is an alloy which contains 75% pure gold and this is the highest percentage of gold that jewellery should be made of due to the soft nature of solid gold.
