14k Vermeil

Silver-glit, gilded silver, or known by the french term Vermeil is a specific term that differs from gold plated jewelry.

  • Vermeil is .925 solid sterling silver that is coated with at least 2.5 microns thick of gold which must be not less than 10k fineness.
  • This differs from gold plated product as gold plated product is not required to have a core made of .925 sterling silver. It can be any base metal, brass or copper, and there is no required minimum thickness of gold present.

Gold-Filled

Gold-filled jewelry consists of a thick layer of gold which is bonded to a core metal interior. This offers a durable finish that will not peel or flake like some gold plated jewelry.
