*Rhodium Plated Sterling Silver: They often add a rhodium plating to their sterling silver and oxidized sterling silver items making the darkened patina or bright white look of sterling silver last a lot longer through daily wear.
**Gold Vermeil: Vermeil is an 18k Yellow or Rose Gold plating over Sterling Silver. The plating is much heavier than a typical plating. Even though we use a very thick plating, we don’t recommend wearing this jewelry while working out, showering or washing your hands in order to make it last a lot longer.
***Oxidized Sterling Silver: This is a process where they add a patina to sterling silver to give it a darkened look. It will fade over time, often settling into the links of a chain or other parts that don’t get rubbed off through wear.
