18kt Gold Vermeil
High-quality vermeil (pronounced “vehr may”) is considered to be the next best thing to fine jewelry and is often indistinguishable. Vermeil jewelry is created by fusing gold over sterling or pure silver.
A technique called electroplating regulates the process to deliver a higher-quality uniform thickness and luster, earning quality vermeil jewelry the designation of semi-fine.
The process behind high-end vermeil creates a product more resilient than ordinary electroplating and stronger than the typical gold-filled technique. Discerning customers know to ask for vermeil that meets the standard of 2.5 microns in thickness, bearing at least 10 karats of gold over pure or sterling silver—but our vermeil surpasses the legal standards of refinement.
Your high-quality vermeil from Shen Yun Collections contains 18kt gold of 2.5 microns over sterling silver, imparting the beauty of 18-karat luster. This level of quality also brings you a hypo-allergenic* and long-lasting jewelry piece for you to treasure.
