[QUOTE=medusa;52053]I'm surprised that vermeil is that thick, I always thought it was a super thin plating, so that's good to know. I suppose if it's thicker it won't 'migrate' into the silver.
The problem is, many people describe things as vermeil when they are in fact just silver with a very fine layer of gold but without laboratory equipment you can't tell the difference. Vermeil is a protected term and to legally describe something as vermeil, there must be at least 2.5 microns of gold
Thanks for the clarification, that's really helpful to know
