Gold vermeil is a step up in quality from standard gold plating, featuring a thicker layer of gold, at least 2.5 microns ,applied over a sterling silver core. For a piece to be labeled as “vermeil” in the U.S., the gold must be at least 10 karats and meet strict regulatory standards. Vermeil offers several advantages, including a higher gold content than gold–plated jewelry, a more hypoallergenic sterling silver foundation and a longer-lasting finish.
