Gold Vermeil

Gold Vermeil, which is pronounced "vehr-MAY," is sterling silver plated with gold.   Modern gold vermeil is usually created using an electrolytic process, which is much safer than fire gilding yet produces a similar result.

There are various different levels of quality in gold vermeil: As with pure gold, a higher number of karats mean a higher quality piece of jewelry. Vermeil can be created using 10-karat, 14-karat or 18-karat gold. Ten karat gold is the lowest quality and 18-karat the highest.
