The Craftsmanship

Crafted in 18-carat gold over sterling silver, this men's gold vermeil necklace is designed for durability and long-lasting wear. The heavy, solid 18-carat gold vermeil necklace ensures a premium feel, while the polished finish adds a refined touch. Whether worn alone or layered, this necklace is built to maintain its look over time. The cross pendant measures 44 mm x 22 mm and weighs 8.35g without the chain. Read about our materials and craftsmanship.

What is 18-carat gold vermeil? Gold vermeil is a thick layer of 18-carat gold bonded to a sterling silver base. Unlike gold-plated jewellery, vermeil uses a heavier gold layer over a precious metal base, making it more durable and longer-lasting, a premium alternative to solid gold at a more accessible price. This Men's classic necklace is independently tested and hallmarked by the Edinburgh Assay Office with a full UK hallmark.

How Our Personalisation Works

This engraved gold necklace includes a complimentary laser engraving service. A name, date, or short message can be engraved on the reverse horizontal and vertical axes of the personalised gold necklace.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this necklace come with a chain?

Yes, this necklace comes with a matching 18ct gold vermeil chain in lengths ranging from 18 to 30
inches (46 cm to 72 cm). You can choose from close curb chain or belcher chain styles. Simply select your preferred length from the drop-down menu on the product
page

Is this necklace hallmarked?

Yes, this Men's Heavy Gold Cross necklace is independently tested and hallmarked with a full UK hallmark by the Assay Office. Most Lily Blanche pendants are hallmarked on the back of the bail (the loop the chain goes through).

Hallmarks can be applied only to the noble metals, which are silver, gold, platinum or palladium. In the UK, four Assay Offices – in Edinburgh, Birmingham, London and Sheffield – are authorised by the UK government to apply hallmarks. There are stringent laws around hallmarking. This means if you own an item with a full UK hallmark, you can have peace of mind that it has been independently tested and approved by one of the four Assay Offices, which are government agencies.

The hallmark is your guarantee of quality. It means that the item of jewellery has been:

  • Independently tested
  • Conforms to all legal standards of purity (fineness)
  • Guarantees the provenance of the jewellery.

You can read more about your hallmark here

Please check it carefully for spelling. You can read more about personalisation, including the principles of engraving and what works best on a locket, here.

Please note that our laser engraving machine determines the size and scale of the individual letters and how they are placed on the jewellery. This will depend on the font, the message to be engraved and the precise mix of capital and lowercase letters.
Engraved items are non-returnable.

Is this necklace real gold?

The pendant and chain are crafted in 18ct gold vermeil, a thick layer of 18-carat gold bonded to a
solid 925 sterling silver base. At 3 microns, our gold layer is significantly thicker than standard gold-
plated jewellery, which typically uses between 0.5 - 1 micron. The Lily Blanche Men's Heavy Gold Cross Necklacepiece is independently tested and carries a full UK hallmark from the Edinburgh Assay Office confirming its purity.

Who is this gold cross necklace for?

This necklace is designed for men who want a bold, substantial piece of jewellery that carries meaning. It
is particularly popular as a gift for milestone occasions — a 21st or 30th birthday, a graduation, Father's
Day, or an anniversary. The complimentary engraving service makes it easy to personalise with a name,
date, or short message. Whether worn to mark a special occasion, or simply as
an everyday piece of quality jewellery, it suits men of all ages who appreciate the look of gold without
the price of solid gold.

How much does the gold cross necklace cost?

The Men's Heavy Gold Cross Necklace starts from £245, with the price varying depending on your choice
of chain length. All prices include the cross pendant, your chosen 18ct gold vermeil chain, complimentary
engraving, and gift packaging. Free standard UK shipping is included on all orders over £125. Select your preferred chain length on the product page to see the exact price.

Is this necklace suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. The pendant is crafted in 18ct gold vermeil at 3 microns — a significantly thicker gold layer than
standard gold-plated jewellery — making it durable and suitable for everyday wear. Store it in the
included Intercept anti-tarnish pouch between wears to maintain the finish over time.

How do I care for gold vermeil jewellery?

With a little care, your 18ct gold vermeil necklace will maintain its finish for years. Follow these simple steps to keep it looking its best.Store it in the branded velvet pouch included with your order. The pouch is made with Intercept® anti-tarnish technology, which actively protects the gold finish when the necklace is not being worn.Remove the necklace before swimming, showering, or applying perfume, moisturiser, or sunscreen. Chemicals and prolonged exposure to water are the main causes of wear on gold vermeil, so keeping it away from them will significantly extend the life of the finish.Clean it gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. Avoid abrasive cloths, jewellery cleaning dips, or ultrasonic cleaners, as these can strip the gold layer.Because our vermeil is applied at 3 microns — well above the industry standard — it is significantly more durable than standard gold-plated jewellery. With the care steps above, it will retain its colour and finish with everyday wear.
