Awe Inspired Medusa Necklace- Gold Vermeil
Medusa, the powerful. This gold vermeil pendant necklace will serve as a reminder of your resilience.
THE STORY: MEDUSA
Medusa was a Gorgon with long wings and venomous snakes in place of hair. Gazers upon her face would turn to stone, making her both feared and unstoppable. Her head was cut off and gifted as a wedding present, then placed on Zeus’ shield to protect him. Hence her face being immortalized on shields and breastplates throughout antiquity as a totem to ward off evil. Now, she has emerged as a symbol of feminism and female strength and fierceness.
Our 14k gold vermeil is the creme de la creme. This French technique is superior to common gold electroplating, though the two are often compared. However, in our process, we take it a step further by offering a thicker 3 micron plating instead of 2, which means your vermeil pieces are significantly more durable and long-lasting. Very few other jewelers do this.
Storytime in the Bath:
Our oxygen bathing technique ensures your Awe pieces are luxe and enduring. Oxygen bathing is done to remove all moisture and liquid from the sterling silver before the 14k gold layer is added. It allows the gold to adhere more tenaciously to the silver and prevents tarnishing between layers (which would ultimately show up on the surface). We don't skip steps or take shortcuts - because you deserve the very best.
