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 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 jewelry pieces comfortably and safely. In addition, because of its increasing popularity, there is a wide array of choices in gold vermeil pieces.
Considerations
Gold vermeil will last for many years without tarnishing and without the gold plate wearing away if you properly care for it. You should avoid wearing gold vermeil jewelry in the bath, shower or when swimming. Do not have gold vermeil jewelry machine polished (typically performed by a jeweller), as this process can wear away the gold layer. Use a soft, clean, lint-free cloth to remove dirt, oils and other material from the jewelry. Glass cleaner can provide added luster if necessary.
