SATURN SMALL YELLOW VERMEIL EARRINGS

18k gold vermeil on sterling silver Saturn medium earrings from Charlotte Chesnais.

Taking inspiration from the galaxy, these striking medium Saturn Blow earrings from Charlotte Chesnais is characterised by an intertwined hoop design that references Saturn’s ring. Having started her career at Balenciaga before launching her eponymous jewellery label in 2015, Charlotte’s innovative designs are a mix of graphic and fluid lines and re-designed basics. Fashioned from sterling silver in France’s finest atelier, these medium planet earrings fasten with a butterfly closure.

What is gold vermeil?
At the beginning, when Charlotte Chesnais started to design the jewellery line, she choosed to work with gold vermeil and rhodium-plated silver.
Gold vermeil is a high quality, traditional material made from 925 sterling silver covered with a 5 microns thick layer of 18 karat gold.
Often used by goldsmiths, gold vermeil has been used for centuries to create jewellery and notably crown jewels.
The layer of gold used on these jewellery is at least five times thicker than on a piece of gold plated bronze jewellery. Each piece of jewellery made from vermeil is hallmarked to guarantee its authenticity.

These earrings come as a pair.
