Vermeil is a type of metal finish that involves coating a base of sterling silver with a layer of gold through a process called electroplating. To qualify as vermeil in the United States, the gold layer must be at least 10 karats and 2.5 microns thick. This technique combines the affordability of silver with the luxurious appearance of gold, making it popular for jewelry.
