What is Gold Vermeil?

You might have seen that the Gold Vermeil option for many of our pieces. But what, exactly is gold vermeil?

Simply put, vermeil (pronounced ver-MAY) jewelry has a thick layer of gold over a sterling silver core.

Similar to the process of gold plating, vermeil requires that sterling silver jewelry be placed in a bath containing fine gold particles, which adhere to the surface using electricity. The use of the term "vermeil" is actually regulated by the FTC. It requires that the quality of gold used must be 10-Karat or higher and have a minimum thickness of 2.5 microns. This allows a much longer wear than gold plated jewelry.
