Features of Gold Vermeil
Gold Vermeil is made using a careful and luxurious technique of bonding melted gold onto a sterling silver base.
This process requires great skill and time, making it a premium and sophisticated material.
Thanks to the solid weight of silver and the thick layer of gold,
our vermeil jewelry offers a rich, glamorous appearance that closely resembles solid gold —
without the solid gold price tag.
