FAQ

What does Gold Vermeil jewelry actually mean?

Gold vermeil (pronounced ver-may) is a high-quality category of gold-plated jewelry. To be legally called "vermeil," the piece must meet specific industry standards that set it apart from standard plating.

The Vermeil Standards:

  • Sterling Silver Base: The core metal must be 925 sterling silver (never brass, nickel, or steel).

  • Thick Gold Layer: It is coated with a minimum of 2.5 microns of gold. This is significantly thicker than standard gold plating.

  • Real Gold: We use a minimum of 14k gold to ensure a beautiful, lasting finish.

Why choose Gold Vermeil?

  • Hypoallergenic: Safe for sensitive skin due to the sterling silver base.

  • Durability: The extra-thick layer holds its color much longer than standard plating.

  • Affordable Luxury: Provides the look and feel of solid gold without the solid-gold price tag.
