Gold vermeil is a type of gold jewelry made to last. Its base metal is sterling silver, ensuring your piece is crafted from only precious metals. A thick layer of gold is then electroplated over the sterling silver. While this may sound similar to gold-plated jewelry, gold vermeil has a much thicker layer of gold, making it less likely to fade, tarnish, or wear off.
