Material Guide - Gold Vermeil

Base Metal: The inner core must be 925 Sterling Silver (not brass, copper, or nickel).
Gold Purity: The gold layer must be at least 10k purity (though most quality brands use 14k, 18k, or 24k gold).
Gold Thickness: The outer gold layer must be at least 2.5 microns thick—roughly 5 times thicker than standard flash gold plating.
