What is gold vermeil and how is it different from regular gold plating?
Gold vermeil is a type of gold plating that is higher in quality compared to regular gold plating. Here are the key differences:
Base Metal: Gold vermeil uses sterling silver as its base metal, while regular gold plating can use various base metals such as brass or copper.
Gold Thickness: The gold layer in vermeil is thicker, typically at least 2.5 microns, whereas regular gold plating is often thinner and can wear off more quickly.
Gold Purity: Gold vermeil requires the gold to be at least 10 karats, though it is often higher. Regular gold plating does not have specific karat requirements and can vary widely.
Durability: Due to the thicker gold layer and the use of sterling silver, vermeil is more durable and longer-lasting compared to regular gold-plated jewelry.
Gold vermeil offers a luxurious look and feel with better longevity and higher quality standards, making it an excellent choice for fine jewelry.
