Warranty and restoration plan
We are committed to providing beautiful, high-quality, personalized keepsakes.

We also offer a Restoration Plan for products outside of the warranty period, or for those items that do not qualify for a Warranty claim. Additionally, outside of the first year, repairs to damage or worn pieces will be quoted based on standard jewelry repair costs.
Due to the personal nature of our keepsakes, we do not accept returns for refunds. We are happy to render any adjustments to your piece for a fee to cover our labor costs, such as a change to an engraving, a stone swap, or plating.

Gold Vermeil Collection
Eternity’s Touch Vermeil items are crafted from a solid .925 sterling silver base finished with a thick layer of gold plating. This composition offers the refined beauty of gold with thoughtful accessibility.
*Please note this Vermeil Gold plating is not Nickel Free, so unlike pure 10K or 14K Gold this is not Allergen Sensitive.
Unlike our 10K and 14K solid gold collections, Vermeil jewelry features a surface-applied gold finish. While luxurious in appearance, this finish requires intentional care to preserve its brilliance over time.
All Vermeil items are protected by a one (1) year manufacturer’s warranty from the original date of purchase.
Examples of defects covered by our manufacturer’s warranty include, but is not limited to:
- Product defects
- Broken bail

- Neglect or abuse
- Scratches, dents, abrasions, or impact damage
- Damage caused by moisture, sweat, chemicals, perfumes, or lotions
- Improper cleaning or third-party alterations
Gold plating is considered a consumable finish. Variations in wear are influenced by frequency of use, skin chemistry, environment, and adherence to care instructions. Surface wear is not considered a manufacturing defect.
By purchasing a Vermeil product from Eternity’s Touch, the customer acknowledges understanding of:
- The compositional difference between Vermeil and solid gold pieces
- The Gold Plated Vermeil is not Nickel Free
- The required care standards necessary to preserve gold plating
- The natural wear characteristics of plated jewelry
- The service fee requirement for Replating of Vermeil Items under our Lifetime Restoration service (See Restoration Plan & Submitting Item for Restoration)
