WHAT IS GOLD VERMEIL JEWELRY?

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.

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.
