What is Vermeil or 22kt Gold Plating means?

The Vermeil Gold is one of the highest grade Gold Plating methods used by even those Luxury Brands out there. To be a Vermeil standard, Jewellery has to be a minimum Sterling Silver coated with a minimum layer of 2.5% micron of 22kt gold. But at 'Grounded And Free' we have gone the extra step on quality, we put 5 microns of the layer 22kt Gold on our Sterling Silver, that extra layer is for the durability of the coating and lasting Gold finish for a longer period of time.

What is so good and different about our Gold Plating vs of others in the market?

We do not just casually put any Gold Plating on our jewellery. We exceed the quality of Vermeil. Vermeil is a minimum requirement to put a layer of 22kt Gold around Sterling Silver with a thickness of 2.5 microns or more. But have we decided to put 5 microns for simply two reasons, we want durability and that Gold shine last way longer.

What are the Natural Gemstones and why I should not trust the non-reliable source to buy them?

The Gemstones are naturally occurring crystals of various minerals, salts and elements that are found mostly under hundreds to thousands of meters of the earth's surface or sometimes on the surface of the earth. Those under the earth's surface are brought up by either volcanic activities in the form of lava or simply by exposing tectonic plates around the earth like the Himalaya range or they simply form as crystallization process of different minerals. These stones have various colours, textures and said to have different energy and their own vibrations. In Vedic science, each planet has a master Gemstone that matches the energy vibration. For thousands of years, mankind has been using these stone's energy to heal, protect and balance their aura and energy and in many cases influence fate by balancing the planetary energy movements. Due to the increased popularity and usages of Gemstones, it's very easy to find counterfeits in the market. Some stones not only look real and natural, they even have better colours. There are some natural stones that are colour enhanced. One of the best ways to trust vendors is their reliability, permanent store location, recommendation by local jewellers and particularly when you visit them, their transparency. Most of these stores have selections of low-grade natural(cracked or shaded), high-grade natural, enhanced natural and 100% synthetic stones, and they should be able to show you all variations without being shy about it and let you choose which you want regardless of the sell they can potentially make.

Will Silver Jewellery piece tarnish over time?

The quick answer is yes. Silver naturally tarnish over time, due to its natural reaction with the oxygen in the air combined with moisture. There are few tips to delay the tarnish though but the most common tip is to avoid wearing the silver jewellery during sweating work-outs, swimming or exposing into the high humid environment.

Will Natural Gemstone fade it's shine over time?

The natural Gemstones do not lose their shine for many years unless it's dirty or abused with heavy rubbing. Like any materials, rubbing and scratching will surely lose their shine. Some stones are easier to scratch and some are not, for example, Saphire stone is very tough and can not be scratched easily which makes it an attractive stone to use as glass in luxury scratch-proof watches. But as a rule for normal use of jewellery, Stones are considered very durable.

Why it is important to have reliable and ethical source for Silver, Gemstones and Gold?

When we say ethical, it automatically demands a high degree of work in the supply chain. Right from finding a supplier who believes in your vision, auditing their work and the work of their supply chain down the line, checking reviews, hearing testimonials and ensuring they are rightly priced too. As you know Gold, Silver and Stones mining is big and vast, getting raw materials from mines, ores in rural places of the countries and in many cases in the country with a corrupt government and lawless society. We want to ensure we are tracing the source of raw materials and check sustainability before we start to use them. 

Then it follows what we do in our own company, stemming from our intentions, people we involve, materials we use for packing, storing, producing, printing and all the way to our contributions to mother earth and our lovely communities. 

We want to ensure we are doing everything consciously and reducing the bad footprints behind.

What makes our selection of Garment so wise decision?

Do you mean our Eco Viscose? It's so simple math. Here's how, 

1. We use FSC Certified Manufacturer of the Garments, meaning all their fibres come from a Sustainable Forest( Not deforested but rather maintained strategically for growth of the forest)

3. With all fibres coming from the forest, they do not use farmland for fibres that save area for food harvesting to feed the hunger. And yes save the irrigation water because forest survives well with natural rainwater. 

4. Extremely fast biodegradable, even faster than Natural Cotton. And yes, just as normal natural bio combust, no need to amplify any process. 

5. Feels so amazing on the body, absorbs moisture better than the natural fibres.
