WHAT IS GOLD VERMEIL ?
At Rue Romantique, all our jewelry pieces feature gold vermeil, which is a thick layer of gold (typically 18k) plated over sterling silver, a precious metal. This combination offers intrinsic value and a higher quality status compared to brass, a non-precious metal alloy, and stainless steel, which is prized more for durability than inherent worth. Gold Vermeil creates a rich, luxurious look similar to solid gold but at a more affordable price point.
