Gold Vermeil
In order to qualify as gold vermeil and not merely gold-plated silver, a piece of jewellery it must meet certain requirements. The base must be Pure Sterling Silver. It may not be coated with any other metal prior to having the layer of gold applied.
Finally, the gold layer with which the Silver is plated must be at least 10 Karat gold and the layer must be at least two and one-half microns in thickness.
Benefits
Gold vermeil is comparable to pure gold in appearance and artisanship. Because of its primary composition of sterling silver, gold vermeil is considerably more affordable than pure gold. Since gold vermeil by definition cannot contain other metals, people with nickel allergies or sensitivity to other metals can wear gold vermeil jewellery pieces comfortably and safely. In addition, because of its increasing popularity, there is a wide array of choices in gold vermeil pieces.
