What is Vermeil / Micron Plating?

Vermeil (pronounced ver-may) is a premium type of gold plating that uses a thick layer of real gold over genuine sterling silver (925 silver).
It offers the luxury of gold jewelry — without the solid gold price tag.

To qualify as Vermeil, jewelry must meet these standards:

  • Base metal

    925 Sterling Silver

  • Gold Purity

    At least 10K (we use 18K for a rich tone)

  • Gold thickness

    Minimum 2.5 microns

This process is called micron plating, where the gold layer’s thickness is measured in microns (1 micron = 0.001 millimeter).
Thicker plating = longer life, better shine, and higher resistance to tarnish or wear.

Why Vermeil / Micron Plating is Special

  • Real precious metals

    Crafted with pure silver and real gold

  • Durability

    5–10x thicker than regular gold plating

  • Hypoallergenic & safe

    Nickel-free, lead-free, and gentle on sensitive skin

  • Long-lasting glow

    Designed to stay lustrous even with regular wear

In Simple Words

Think of Vermeil as gold-plated luxury done right it gives you the radiance of real gold, the value of silver, and the longevity that everyday jewelry deserves.
