WHAT IS GOLD VERMEIL JEWELRY?

GOLD VERMEIL

2020-03-24

Pronounced ‘ver-may’, you may be wondering what gold vermeil jewelry is. Continuing to be on trend, gold vermeil is just right for the woman who wants jewelry that looks like solid gold without the expensive price tag. The base of a vermeil piece is sterling silver with a coat of gold of at least 10 karats. The thickness of the gold coating is made up of a minimum of 2.5 microns.

GOLD VERMEIL VS GOLD-PLATED JEWELRY

The base of gold-plated items can consist of different metals, while vermeil must always be made with silver. Additionally, vermeil must be made up of at least 10 karats to be considered vermeil with a thickness of 2.5 microns, while for gold-plated items, it does not matter how thick the gold plating should be. Vermeil gold is more fine than gold-plated jewelry due to the thickness of the gold that is used. Because of its thick gold layer, it is more hypoallergenic than gold plating and is less prone to tarnishing.

HOW TO CLEAN GOLD VERMEIL

To prevent oxidization, we recommend keeping your gold vermeil jewelry in a jewelry box when they are not being worn. Always apply perfumes and cosmetics before wearing your pieces and avoid exposing your jewelry to harsh chemical cleaners or heat. Use a clean cotton cloth to buff the jewelry gently. Also, avoid exposing your gold vermeil to prolonged water or sweat (such as when showering or exercising.)

WHAT IS THE QUALITY OF GOLD VERMEIL?

It is recommended to have a cleaning routine to prevent any tarnishing from occurring. The higher the purity of gold, the more likely that it will last longer. The quality of a vermeil piece also relies on the thickness of its gold plating, the thicker the gold plating is, the longer the jewelry piece will last.

NICKEL-FREE?

Gold vermeil jewelry contains gold and silver. It does not include any metals that can cause an allergic reaction. All the vermeil jewelry at Oak and Luna is nickel-free. We invite you to explore all our Gold Vermeil Jewelry.
