Gold Vermeil…

I have begun to incorporate gold vermeil into my jewellery making and am very much enjoying using this gorgeous colour in my designs. I also love the combination of silver and gold, a cool tone against a warm tone looks stunning!
Vermeil (pronounced ver-May), is a technique which began in the mid-eighteenth century by some French goldsmiths.
It is silver which has been coated in a thick layer of 14k - 24k gold and so still consists of the precious metal silver, but also with another precious metal, gold.
This gorgeous rich gold vermeil is shown in these pieces below and can be found on my website :)
