What is Gold Vermeil?

Gold Vermeil is an outstanding choice that expertly balances quality and affordability, positioned just below solid gold in the hierarchy of precious metals. Unlike solid gold, which consists entirely of gold, Gold Vermeil is crafted with a solid sterling silver base that is elegantly bonded with genuine 14k gold.

The use of solid sterling silver not only enhances the hypoallergenic properties of our jewelry—making it ideal for sensitive skin—but also significantly increases its durability. Gold Vermeil is more resilient than standard gold plating, featuring a minimum thickness of real 2.5 to 10.0 microns of 14k gold bonded to sterling silver, in contrast to the typical 0.1 to 0.3 microns found in conventional gold plating. This superior thickness contributes to the longevity and overall quality of Gold Vermeil pieces.

Why Choose Gold Vermeil?

Gold Vermeil is an outstanding choice for those seeking both quality and value, offering a luxurious alternative without sacrificing affordability. In contrast to gold-plated or gold-filled jewelry, which often contains lower-quality metal alloys like copper, nickel, lead, or brass, our 14k Gold Vermeil pieces are made exclusively from high-quality gold and sterling silver.

When comparing a 14k solid gold chain to a 14k Gold Vermeil chain, the differences are nearly imperceptible; in fact, the Gold Vermeil chain can match or even exceed the weight of its solid gold counterpart.

By selecting our Gold Vermeil pieces, you are investing in jewelry that combines aesthetic appeal with durability, making it an ideal choice for everyday wear or special occasions.
