About Gold Vermeil

Gold vermeil is a thick 24ct gold plating of at least 3 microns thick onto a base of solid Sterling Silver. 

For any of our Sterling Silver jewellery you have the option to have it gold coloured. 

After I have received your order I will send the piece out to London to be professionally gold plated at our partner, Elliot Fitzpatric, In London.

Please note that I will need to reserve 2 to 4 weeks for completion. 

Once the plating is done, I will photograph you piece of jewellery to check that you are happy with the results, prior to sending it out.

If you are not completely satisfied you have the right to cancel. Most of my silver jewellery is one of a kind with only one available, so I may not be able to replace it with a silver one after the gold plating is complete. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at taitaya@taitaya.co.uk!

Made to Order  - Silver

These take the longest. With silver items we have to send them to London to be assayed and officially hallmarked. How long this service takes, depends on their workload and mine, as I usually need to make a few extra silver items to bring the individual hallmarking cost down. For this we like to reserve 2 to 4 weeks.

Our Guarantees

It is very important to us that you are completely happy with the service and product you have received. This is why you have some additional guarantees in addition to your statutory rights.

 

Lifetime Guarantee against faulty manufacture.

As long as we are working as blacksmiths we will repair any piece we have sold to you through this website.  The lifetime guarantee is for the metalwork. Leather or other materials have a shorter guarantee. We do our best to source out the best ingredients, but due to the nature of the materials, we cannot cover these.

 

Refurbishment Guarantee

Because of the nature of iron, we offer to refurbish any iron jewellery back to its original state. Including a brand new cord. 

The cost for this is the cost of shipping, with tracking, the piece back to you and any other fees we may incur in taking the payment for the shipping. You will need to send the piece back to us, so this will mean that it can take up to a couple of months depending on our respective postal services.

 

Gift Guarantee

It is usually best to order gift items well in time. With international orders this can mean that the period of return expires before you have a chance to gift the piece. This is why, if you let us know the date when you will give the gift, we will extend the time that you can return or exchange to start from that date, rather than the date when you received the piece. 

 

Assay and Hallmarks

All our silver work has been independently assayed and hallmarked at the Goldsmiths Hall in London. This is your guarantee of the purity of our materials.
