OUR METALS & GEMS
GOLD VERMEIL
Vermeil (pronounced vehr-may; it's French!) is a legally regulated term that refers to a certain kind of quality Jewellery. Gold vermeil is the highest quality and longest-lasting option aside from solid gold. Our vermeil pieces are not the regular gold plating, but an extra thick 18c gold layer on 925 sterling silver.
- Have 925 sterling silver as its base material.
- Be plated in gold that is at least 10c (10 carats). We have chosen for 18ct gold plate because it has a higher purity of gold compared to 14c or lower.
- Have gold plating that is at least 2.5 microns thick. A micron is 1/1000th of a millimeter.
Vermeil pieces are made with precious metals only, with heavy plating to ensure long-lasting wear.
Is your vermeil real Gold?
Yes! Our Vermeil is real gold (at least 18carat real gold) is electroplated over a base layer of 925 Sterling Silver.
STERLING SILVER 18CT GOLD PLATE JEWELRY

All of our Sterling Silver (18ct gold plate) pieces are stamped with a 925 metal purity stamp certifying that our pieces are made with 100% pure 925 Sterling silver. All our heavy Sterling Silver (18ct gold plate) pieces are additionally stamped with “GEMSA”. For all our Jewellery, we have chosen for 18ct gold plate because it has a higher purity of gold compared to 14c or lower, it will not trigger skin conditions or reactions and it has a very vibrant colour.
