For the gold vermeil links, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth — avoid silver polish or abrasive cleaners on the gold, as they can wear the layer over time. Take it off before swimming and store it dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is gold vermeil?\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold vermeil is a thick layer of real gold bonded over .925 sterling silver. It's more durable than standard gold plating and sits on a precious-metal base, not brass or alloy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the piece solid or hollow?\u003c\/strong\u003e Hollow. We build it with cartoneado, a traditional Taxco technique: sheets of .925 sterling silver are die-stamped and hand-soldered into a hollow form. The hollow construction is what keeps a piece this size light enough to actually wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between this and the all-silver Lenguita?\u003c\/strong\u003e The gold. Same shape, same cartoneado construction, same weight — but half the links are finished in gold vermeil, so it reads warmer and more mixed-metal on the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I choose a size?\u003c\/strong\u003e Measure your wrist and add about half an inch so it moves comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan you make it in a custom length?\u003c\/strong\u003e Usually yes.
