What is 14k Gold-filled - Gold vermeil - Gold plated over pewter?
14k gold-filled is a process where a layer of gold is mechanically bonded with heat and pressure to a base metal, such as Sterling silver, then rolled to a given thickness. We use beads designated as "14K/20," which means that 20% of the total weight of the bead is 14K gold.
Gold-filled is superior to gold-plated products, which have a very thin layer (seven-millionths of an inch) of gold. Gold-filled items will remain gold for a lifetime if cared for properly. The occasional silver spot is from solder holding joints together. Unless you are using harsh chemicals or abrasives, the gold layer will stay gold for years to come!
Gold Vermeil, pronounced "vermay," is a French word describing Sterling silver that has been electroplated with at least 100 millionths of an inch of karat gold. Our supplier uses gold vermeil is 22kt gold over Sterling silver.
