3mm Lapis Lazuli and Black Spinel Bead strand with 24kt vermeil over sterling silver accents by Lori Gadola.

Vermeil is a luxurious metal finish that combines the beauty of gold with the durability of sterling silver. This exquisite material features a core of sterling silver, which is then plated with a thick layer of gold, offering a sophisticated look at a more accessible price point. The gold plating is typically 10 karats or higher and must meet specific thickness standards to be classified as vermeil. This results in jewelry that not only looks stunning but also stands the test of time. Known for its warm hue and elegance, vermeil is an excellent choice for those seeking unique pieces that reflect both style and quality.
