Gold Vermeil (pronounced'Vermay') is a process of gold plating a sterling silver base metal with a surface layer of gold.
The thickness of that layer of gold must be at least 2.5 microns (or micrometers) in order to be considered a vermeil finish.
This lasts longer than gold plated jewelry since much of what is sold elsewhere wears through quickly due to how thin they are plated and are typically plated over cheaper metals that will oxidize.
We use only the finest 24K gold (99.9% pure gold).
