What is Gold Vermeil?

Gold Vermeil (ver-may) is gold plated on high-quality sterling silver. While traditional gold-plated jewelry can be on any base metal and only needs the gold plating to be 0.5 microns thick, Irish-made gold vermeil is at least 10K or more, only plated on sterling silver and the gold plating must be at least 2.5 microns thick (it is typically 3 microns). While all gold plating may eventually wear off, with proper care gold vermeil jewelry it will take exponentially more time than on traditional gold-plated jewelry. It can take years to happen, and with gold vermeil you can contact a jeweler and have it re-plated if necessary.
