Vermeil is a legally regulated term that refers to a certain kind of quality jewellery.

To be legally called "vermeil"  the jewellery piece must meet ALL of these conditions:

1. Have sterling silver as its base material.

Sterling silver is an alloy made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other materials, and is a standard material used in high quality jewellery.


2. Be plated in 18K Gold
.

3. Have gold plating that is at least 2.5 microns thick.

A micron is 1/1000th of a millimeter.

·Very low likelihood of skin irritations and allergies
·Will not turn your skin green
·Gold plating layer will last many times longer than gold plated jewellery

·Higher likelihood of skin irritations and possibility of skin discoloration
·Gold plating layer will not last very long

 Gold vermeil is the best quality that exists apart from 18k gold.

Vermeil requires a layer of gold that is three times thicker than ordinary gold-plated jewellery.

Vermeil is a technique originating in the 19th century that is much superior to gold-plated jewellery because of its thick gold coating.

The result and durability of vermeil jewellery is far superior to ordinary plated jewellery where the plating is very thin so that the gold colour fades quickly.

This is not the case with vermeil, which offers a beautiful alternative to pure 18k gold for a much accessible price.
