When choosing new jewellery, one of the most common questions is whether to go for sterling silver or gold vermeil. Both are beautiful, high-quality options but they each offer their own look, feel and benefits. From durability and colour to everyday wear and personal style, understanding the difference between the two can help you decide which metal is the best fit for you.
STERLING SILVER
Sterling silver is loved for its bright, cool-toned finish and timeless appeal. Known for its durability, it’s a strong metal that can handle everyday wear, making it ideal for jewellery you reach for daily. With the right care, sterling silver pieces can last for years and develop a beautiful character over time. Its versatile style pairs effortlessly with both casual and more polished looks, making it perfect for work, weekends and everything in between.

GOLD VERMEIL
Gold vermeil offers the luxurious look of gold while remaining durable and more affordable than solid gold. It features a sterling silver base coated in a thick layer of 18ct gold. At Muru, we use a high-quality 3-micron plating to ensure a longer-lasting finish. This combination creates beautiful jewellery with a warm, golden glow that’s also suitable for sensitive skin. Gold vermeil is ideal for elevating everyday outfits or adding a refined touch to special occasions.
