Gold vermeil is typically marked with a hallmark that indicates its gold content and the base metal, which is usually sterling silver. The hallmark often includes the purity of the gold layer, such as "14K" or "18K," along with a "925" stamp to denote the sterling silver base. This combination ensures that the piece meets the standards for vermeil, which requires a gold layer of at least 10 karats and a minimum thickness of 2.5 microns over sterling silver.
