While sterling silver jewelry and handmade Christian gifts are the bread and butter of Deirdre Handcrafted jewelry, we also offer a selection of our jewelry in 14K Gold Vermeil and 14k Gold Plate both of which are affordable alternatives to solid gold.  Gold vermeil is 14K gold plating over sterling silver; it is the highest quality of gold plating available.  With good care, this vermeil plating will last a very long time.
