Hi Ladies,

I have a question for Berricle lovers. I´ve seen a ton of their rings posted on here and some of them really look like the real thing, yet I´ve only seen sterling silver pieces.

I´m wondering if anyone´s ever tried the vermeil pieces where the silver is coated in yellow gold rather than rhodium plated. I love yellow stuff but my skin tends to eat away at vermeil when it´s not nice and thick.

I´m wondering if anyone´s ever tried any of their pieces and how they´ve held up.

Thanks in advance!

I bought a pair of stud earrings in vermeil from berricle but was not so happy about it. The vermeil color does not look like a 14k or 18k yellow gold to me. Its apperance is completely different from my real gold pieces. I would not order any vermeil piece from them, but as far as good quality of rhodium plated pieces that I have received, I will definitely order from them again.
This is just me, hopefully other sparkly sisters will give you more reviews about their experiences.

Hi! I also ordered a few pieces and sent them back..... They just looked "off" to me. Also, just my opinion :)))

Thank you! I def took your comments into account. I was having a hard time deciding on the vermeil issue since practically NO ONE does good vermeil.

I ended up ordering a cushion canary set in rhodium plated silver.

Can´t wait to get it!

Thanks again!!!

Well, CHICKENgal, canary would seem to suit you! :-)

So...update. I got cold feet. Cancelled the order. Am now racking my brains trying to figure out between these two... Opinions?

http://www.berricle.com/jewelry-sterling...ng-set-r542.htm

and

http://www.berricle.com/jewelry-sterling...ng-set-r546.htm

The two things that held me back about the first one were the height and shape of the prongs and the enormity of the rock. Anyone sees a 2ct fancy diamond on my finger is going to think fake...
On the other hand, the other one is a more believable size and I like the gallery. The rings don´t sit flush though. Not even close.

you likey?

I like the halo one better. More believable, and their canary stones sure do sparkle! I have the split shank round halo one... it's GORGEOUS.

Don't forget, use the code eb15 for an extra 15% off of the 20% they're already running!!
