The term vermeil is regulated, and to be classified as Gold Vermeil, the jewellery must have Sterling Silver as its base metal and be plated with 10k gold (or above) at least 2.5 microns thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eIs Gold Vermeil the same as Gold plated?\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, no. Gold Vermeil is at least five times superior quality than gold-plated or gold-filled jewellery. That is to say, Gold-plated jewellery has a gold layer at least five times thinner than vermeil. Such a thin layer wears off quickly, while vermeil materials are more durable. Not only that, but quite often, a gold-plated piece has brass and copper as its base metal. Vermeil, on the other hand, has a solid base of sterling silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eWill gold vermeil wear off?\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrecious materials and quality manufacturing make Gold vermeil more durable and wear-resistant than other gold-plated jewellery. With the proper care, it can last for years to come. But please keep in mind, due to its nature, it can eventually wear off. In such scenarios, you can always contact a local jeweller to re-plate your jewellery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ShanOre Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40434406293587,"sku":"GV11","price":245.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/6885\/products\/square_GV11_Earrings3.jpg?v=1669567954","url":"https:\/\/www.theirishdesignhouse.live\/products\/14kt-gold-vermeil-malachite-celtic-drop-earrings","provider":"Irish Design House ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
