CHARMS NOT INCLUDED
Balangandan Necklaces have a captivating history, having been traditionally worn by black and mulatto women of indentured servitude mainly in the Brazilian state of Bahia during the 19th and early 20th centuries as talismans.
They were worn suspended from a heavy chain that went around the waist, often accompanied by thick silver bracelets, a multitude of heavy silver rings and necklaces. Typically, such sets were added to as their owners could afford to buy more items.
The Balangadan Necklace illustrates the blending of African superstitions and Christian beliefs in Brazil, crafted by black silversmiths.
Gold vermeil, also referred to as "silver gilt," is a type of gold plating that utilizes sterling silver as a base. It offers superior longevity to gold-plated jewelry due to its thicker plating (~5 times greater than standard gold plating).
Moreover, it is hypoallergenic and less likely to discolor skin, as well as more resistant to tarnish than plated pieces. Generally, vermeil jewelry will remain in good condition for years. High quality and long-lasting, vermeil jewelry combines the strength and durability of sterling silver with the luxurious and beautiful look of gold.
With proper care, this jewelry will maintain its luster for many years. Gold vermeil is an excellent choice that offers superior longevity and protection against discoloration. It's a great way to get the golden look without the cost or hassle of solid gold pieces.
