What is Gold Vermeil?
Vermeil jewellery is one of the hottest trends right now as it strikes the perfect balance between quality and value. Many people tend to confuse vermeil with gold plating, and even though they do share a few aspects, there is a big difference in quality, durability, and desirability.
Gold Vermeil pieces start out as a sterling silver base and are plated with at least 2.5 microns of gold, unlike plating which core metal can be anything from brass to copper and stainless steel and can have 'flash' plating with as little as 0.5 microns of gold.
