A traditional Kiowa design in 24k gold vermeil, these lightweight and wearable length earrings look sophisticated. The matte finish reflects the perfect amount of light creating a contemporary twist on traditional Southern Plains aesthetics. Gold vermeil (pronounced "ver-may") is a jewelry technique of applying pure gold to silver that started in 18th century France. It has a thicker layer of gold than ' gold-plated' pieces. It is more affordable than solid gold and is the technique used to make Olympic medals. To care for gold vermeil, you can remove it while showering, cleaning, swimming, using lotion or perfume, and working out. If it starts to tarnish, you can gently rub it with a soft cloth.
