How is gold vermeil is different from gold -plated?
Gold-plated jewelry refers to jewelry that has gold plating at least 0.5 micron thick. It does not require sterling silver to be used as base material, and usually uses a less valuable material, Since the plating is so thin, the gold color will wear very quickly compared to gold vermeil. Gold-vermeil is superior to gold-plated jewelry, which is why you will see it in stores selling fine jewelry.
