Gold Vermeil Jewelry is an elegant choice for people who love the luxury of gold with an affordable cost. It’s made with a sterling silver base layered with a thick layer of gold. The standard process involves using a minimum of 10 karat gold and a thickness of 2.5 microns. This process is called Electroplating.Â
Electroplating is using an electric current to deposit a layer of gold onto a metal base for an enhanced appearance. Electroplating is particularly effective in assuring an increased lifespan for your jewelry by protecting against corrosion.
Another benefit is that it allows for more intricate designs. Its sterling silver base is soft and malleable in comparison to other metals, allowing our jewelers to create more complex patterns with finer details without damaging the base. Using electroplating to apply the gold allows for a thicker layer, preserving more delicate designs.
The affordability of the metals used to create this type of jewelry means that our designers can afford to experiment while creating your jewelry. By allowing designers more freedom, we can ensure that your piece is both beautiful and unique.Â
Gold Vermeil is perfect for people with sensitive skin due to its hypoallergenic properties. The combination of sterling silver and thick gold helps minimize any possible skin irritation. As a result of the high quality of materials used, it’s suitable for people with allergies to common metals found in cheaper jewelry without the hefty price tag.
If you are on a budget, but looking for a slice of luxury, our Gold Vermeil line is perfect for you. Infused with elegance and influenced by Celtic designs, our jewelry has something for everyone.
