Die Haltbarkeit Ihres Vermeil-Goldes hängt tatsächlich von der Dicke der Vergoldung ab. Mit anderen Worten, Gold ist der Hauptfaktor bei der Entscheidung, ob das Vermeil-Gold haltbar ist oder nicht. Als allgemeine Faustregel, desto dicker die Vergoldung, desto länger ist die Lebensdauer des Stücks.
Another factor to consider is the purity of the vermeil. As you may know, the higher the purity of gold, the softer it is and more susceptible to scratches and damage. If you would want gold vermeil that will last for a long time, buying 14 k or 18 k gold vermeil is recommended. Anything higher will be too soft and lower would not have the color of gold you may be after.
Another question we get asked a lot is whether gold vermeil tarnishes.
Because vermeil is made with a silver base, and because silver is known for oxidizing, it is only a matter of time before gold vermeil starts to tarnish. Aber, this does not have to be a permanent issue. With regular cleaning and maintaining, the tarnish can be removed and the vermeil restored to sparkle.
