Vermeil (pronounced ver-may) is a high-quality form of gold jewelry made with a solid sterling silver base that’s thickly coated in real 18K gold—not gold-colored metal or brass.
Why vermeil is better jewelry:
1) Real precious metals only: Sterling silver core + genuine 18K gold = higher value and quality
2) Thicker gold layer: Vermeil uses much more 18K gold (2.5 microns) than standard plating, so it lasts longer
3) Nickel-free & hypoallergenic: Safer for sensitive skin
4) Luxe look without solid-gold pricing: The richness of 18K gold at a more accessible price
5) Better for everyday wear (with care): More durable than regular gold-plated jewelry
