This piece is true gold vermeil. It has 925 sterling silver at its core and is plated in a thick layer of gold measuring 2.5-3.0 microns. (This is 5 times thicker and longer-lasting than regular "gold-plated" jewelry.) We use 18k gold for its beautiful, elegant hue.
Note: Our jewelry is handmade. Naturally formed shapes of freshwater baroque pearls may vary.The actual product may be slightly different from the pictures shown.
