Du kan finne gullvermeil i mange smykkebutikker på nett og i butikken, men det er viktig å være en årvåken kjøper. Her er noen ting du bør se etter før du kjøper:
Hvis det virker for godt til å være sant, det er det sannsynligvis. Legg merke til prisene. Gold vermeil is typically more expensive than sterling silver and gold-plated jewelry. If the price of the gold vermail is very similar to these, chances are the quality of the vermeil you are looking at is low.
Check the coloration and the weight of the vermeil item. Ask about the level of purity as well as the thickness.
Check for the mark ‘925’ on the item as this is used to signify silver jewelry covered in a layer of gold. This is a standard hallmark for vermeil.
Buy from a reputable seller. When selling gold vermeil, sellers need to disclose any deviations from the minimum standards in the three abovementioned criteria as vermeil is a regulated metal. It is a good idea to request all specifications of the vermeil before you buy.
