WHAT IS 18K GOLD VERMEIL
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
WHAT IS 18K GOLD PVD STAINLESS STEEL
18K Gold PVD Plated Stainless Steel is a premium jewelry finish where a thick layer of real 18K gold is bonded to high-grade stainless steel using PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) technology.
Why it’s better:
1) Extremely durable: PVD plating is up to 10x more wear-resistant than traditional gold plating—meaning it won’t fade, chip, or flake easily.
2) Waterproof, sweat-proof: Safe to wear in the shower, pool, or ocean without tarnishing.
3) Hypoallergenic: Made with nickel-free stainless steel, ideal for sensitive skin.
4) Tarnish-resistant: Stainless steel doesn’t oxidize, so your jewelry stays gold and glossy.
5) Long-lasting luxury look: Gives the rich appearance of solid gold at a more accessible price point.
