18k Gold Vermeil
Gold vermeil (pronounced ver-may) is a specific type of gold plating that involves the application of a thick layer of gold onto 925 sterling silver. To be considered vermeil, the gold layer must be at least 2.5 microns thick.
Our 18k gold vermeil is 3 microns thick which is 6x thicker than the average gold plating.
925 Sterling Silver
Our silver jewellery is made from 925 sterling silver, an alloy comprised of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals. This precise blend ensures not only the unparalleled brilliance of silver but also the strength and durability required for lasting beauty.
The rhodium plating provides a protective layer that minimises tarnish, helping the jewellery maintain its original shine and luster. The rhodium plating also enhances the hypoallergenic properties of the jewellery, making it suitable for individuals with sensitive skin.

How to care for your NOORA jewellery
- Store your jewellery individually so it doesn't scratch or tangle. Preferably in your jewellery box or pouch.
- Avoid contact with perfume, body lotion or other chemicals. Chemicals can damage the jewellery or cause tarnish. Jewellery should be the last thing you put on when getting ready.
- Avoid wearing your jewellery when showering, swimming, sweating or washing your hands. It is best to keep jewellery dry and away from moisture to prevent tarnishing.
- Store away from heat or direct sunlight. Store in a dark, cool and dry place.
- Remove jewellery before going to bed or participating in physical activity, as impact can cause scratches, tangles or damage the jewellery.
- Gently wipe your jewellery with a soft lint-free cloth. Avoid over polishing plated jewellery as it can wear away the plating. If your jewellery needs a more thorough cleaning you can soak it in a bowl of water and mild dish soap, using a soft brush to remove build up and restore shine. Wash off soap with cold water before drying.
- Be aware that plating can wear over time. As our jewellery is made from precious metals they can be re-plated if needed.
