Real gold, not plate

What vermeil means.

In the US, “gold vermeil” is a legal term. The FTC says it has to be sterling silver underneath, with a gold layer at least 2.5 microns thick. Ordinary plating has no minimum, which is why it can wear through in weeks.

Questions

Before you reserve.

The short version: $0 today, charged when it ships, cancel any time before that.

All questions
When will I be charged?

Only when your order ships, on or before February 12, 2027. Nothing is charged today. We'll email you two days before we charge your card, with the exact amount and date.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time before it ships, from the link in your confirmation email. It takes one click and nothing is charged. Lost the email? Write to hello@solace-hour.pages.dev and we'll cancel it for you.

Why pre-order?

We're a new brand. Making pieces to order means we only produce what people want, so there's no waste and no discounting leftovers. Founding pre-orders are capped at 60 per style, because that's the size of our first production run.

What if it's delayed?

We'll email you before the ship-by date with a new date and the option to cancel. If the delay is longer than 30 days, we'll cancel your pre-order unless you tell us you're happy to keep waiting. You're never charged for something that hasn't shipped.

Why we started

Made for women who know what they like.

We wanted good gold, made properly and described honestly, that you can wear every day without thinking twice. So we're starting with four pieces and making only as many as you reserve.
