From water’s movements to the moon’s surface, there is an otherworldly quality to Kate Finley’s inspiration. In a way, her jewelry collection was formed years ago, with an astronomy course in which she “held” a projected image of the moon in her hands. “I can’t quite explain the sensation other than that it was a bit surreal and totally magical,” Kate says. Soon after, she embarked on her first-ever journey alone, a solo trip to Kenya. “Knowing that my family could see the moon too was comforting in a way, even if it wasn’t at the same time. It doesn’t matter where you are in the world, how foreign your surroundings, how upside down you might feel, at some point during the day or night you can usually catch a glimpse of the moon.” Using the laborious reticulation process, Kate aims to capture the surface of the moon, as well as the constantly shifting surface of the sea. “I find water soothing to my soul, and I like the interconnectedness that the tidal pulls from the moon creates on earth.” By repeatedly heating and cooling sheets of metal, Kate creates textured jewels as unique as fingerprints.

There are a lot of different metals out there, and sometimes it can be confusing when trying to tell the difference.  Vermeil (pronounced vur-may) is a heavy gold plate over sterling silver.  A typical example is sterling silver plated with 14 carat (58%) gold.  In order for an item to be considered vermeil, the gold must be at least 10 carat (42%) and be a minimum of 2.5 microns thick.  In the US, sterling silver covered with a base metal, or any other plain base metal, plated with gold cannot be sold as vermeil. 

Vermeil is produced by coating sterling silver with carat gold using the process of electrolysis -- an electricity in an acid bath --  to attach the gold to sterling.  This 2.5 micron (100 millionths of an inch) thick layer of gold is significantly heavier than the gold applied to base metal using an electroplating process (only 0.175 microns or 7 millionths of an inch), and is therefore much more durable.  

Any of Night Fox's silver pieces can be done in vermeil.  So if you are wondering whether a vermeil piece is worth the investment, be assured that you will have a lovely, high quality piece that can last for generations.
