Gold Vermeil Jewelry
Vermeil pieces are made with precious metals such as sterling silver, with heavy plating to ensure long-lasting wear. Gold vermeil is a legally regulated term that refers to jewelry with a sterling silver base metal and a layer of gold plating that is at least 2.5 microns thick. Gold vermeil is superior to gold plated jewelry in terms of longevity, quality and value.
Gold Filled Jewelry
Gold filled jewelry consists of a thick layer of gold bonded to a base metal, typically brass. The gold layer must make up at least 5% of the item's total weight, making it significantly thicker than gold plating. Gold filled jewelry is known to be more durable and of higher quality than plated jewelry.
Sterling Silver Jewelry
Sterling silver is a metal alloy made of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. This combination enhances the strength and durability of the silver, making it ideal for jewelry. Sterling silver pieces are known for their lustrous appearance and versatility. They are hypoallergenic, making them a great choice for those with sensitive skin. Sterling silver also retains its value over time, making it a worthwhile investment.
Solid Gold Jewelry
Solid gold jewelry is made entirely of gold, both inside and out. It is the most durable and expensive type of gold jewelry.
