ALL THAT GLITTERS: understanding gold
GOLD VERMEIL vs. GOLD FILLED vs. SOLID GOLD
At Jordan Lily, we use a variety of techniques and components (like chains) to create Gold jewellery that is durable, high quality and at a variety of price points. Each product will detail the exact make up of the piece for complete transparency.
GOLD VERMEIL
A much thicker layer (compared to high-street plating) of 9ct recycled yellow gold over a solid sterling silver base. Long-lasting with the right care.
GOLD FILLED
A mechanically bonded layer of gold over a base metal (usually brass). Gold filled chains and findings are a durable and long-lasting alternative to solid gold.
SOLID GOLD
100% solid gold. Our 9ct recycled yellow gold is unmatched in quality and durability making it a lasting investment. Commission solid gold pieces.
