Gold-filled: thick and durable gilding

Gold-filled is one of the best gold finishes in jewelry. This process consists of applying a thick layer of 14 or 18 carat gold on a metal base, guaranteeing excellent resistance to wear.

Why choose gold-filled?

• More durable than gold plated
• Hypoallergenic , ideal for sensitive skin

Gold plating: an elegant and affordable alternative

Gold plating is obtained by applying a thin layer of gold (minimum 3 microns in France) on a brass or copper base.

Please note:

• Affordable and refined
• Requires more maintenance than gold-filled
• Avoid water and cosmetics to extend its life

Why choose vermeil?

• Superior durability to gold plating
• Does not tarnish as quickly as silver
