Thumbies’ New Gold Vermeil Options Help Funeral Professionals Serve More Families with Premium Personalized Jewelry
Woodstock, IL. — Thumbies, A Messenger Family Company, has announced the launch of Gold Vermeil (pronounced “ver-MAY”) as a new material option within its personalized memorial jewelry collection, providing funeral professionals with another premium choice to meet the growing demand for meaningful and affordable, personalized remembrance products.
Manufactured with a thick layer of 14K yellow gold over sterling silver, Gold Vermeil meets internationally recognized standards for quality while offering an elegant alternative for families seeking a premium keepsake.
As families increasingly seek memorial items that reflect the unique life and personality of their loved one, funeral homes continue to look for ways to offer personalization across a variety of price points. Gold Vermeil bridges the gap between sterling silver and solid gold, which are already a part of the Thumbies’ product mix, delivering the rich appearance of gold with exceptional durability and craftsmanship at a more accessible price.
“Every family deserves the opportunity to preserve the unique fingerprint of a loved one in a beautiful piece they can hold close,” said Matt Stallings, Vice President of Thumbies. “With the introduction of
Gold Vermeil, our funeral home partners can now offer personalized fingerprint jewelry at every price point, making meaningful memorial keepsakes accessible to more families.”
Gold Vermeil is available for many of Thumbies’ most popular jewelry items. Each piece is handcrafted and individually personalized, preserving a unique connection that families can wear and cherish for years to come.
The addition supports funeral homes’ ongoing efforts to differentiate their merchandise offerings while creating opportunities to increase personalization and provide families with choices that align with both their preferences and budget. As personalization continues to shape the future of memorialization, expanded material selections enable funeral professionals to offer products that complement a wide range of service options.
The launch also reflects Thumbies’ continued investment in developing products that help funeral professionals enhance the family experience while supporting sustainable business growth.
Gold Vermeil jewelry is now available for ordering at Thumbies.com.
