The Luccichio Gold Vermeil Garnet Sparkle ring by Vintouch is made by local craftsmen using 24-karat recycled gold vermeil. It's set with a single 2. 00-carat natural garnet that beautifully catches the light from every angle, enriched with an arrow of sparkling crystals on both sides. Wear yours with a matching red lip. Cast from 24-karat Gold Vermeil. (2. 5 Micron thickness). To protect gold-plating from natural oxidation, a 0. 10-micron palladium plate is applied before the gold-plating process. Palladium is an anti-oxidizing precious metal. We suggest avoiding contact with soaps, detergents, chlorine, and any other chemical substance that could alter the original characteristics of your jewel. When it is not worn, keep your jewelry piece in its bag in order to protect it from natural oxidation. Only if necessary, use a suede cloth and delicately clean the surface of the jewel. Made in Italy in full compliance with the European Reach/Rohs directives and nickel-free so to avoid skin irritations.
