what is this difference between gold-filled and gold vermeil?
Great Question! Gold-filled is typically constructed in two or three layers of gold around a core metal (usually brass) however, a gold alloy is then bonded to the metal’s surface. Unlike gold-plated (aka electroplated or “dipped”) metals, gold-filled must be at least 5% or 1/20 gold by weight. We use 14K gold-filled (14/20).
Gold vermeil (vehr-may) is a thick gold plating (about 3x the thickness of gold plated) around a Sterling Silver base metal.
These standards are based on U.S. Federal Trade Commission guidelines.
