If you've ever wondered about the differences between solid gold, gold filled, gold vermeil, and gold plated jewelry, we've got you covered. Each material offers its own unique benefits and considerations.
Solid gold jewelry is the highest quality and most durable option, ranging from 10K to 24K. It's hypoallergenic and won't oxidize or discolor, making it a great choice for everyday wear.
Gold-filled jewelry is composed of a solid layer of gold bonded to a base of other metals, and is more affordable than solid gold while still offering excellent quality and hypoallergenic properties. It's also more tarnish-resistant than gold plated jewelry.
Gold vermeil jewelry features a thick layer of gold plating (at least 2.5 microns) over 925 sterling silver, providing both durability and affordability. It's a great option for daily wear and is also hypoallergenic.
Gold plated jewelry is the most affordable option and offers a wide variety of designs. However, it requires careful care to maintain its original condition over time.
