These variations are not to be considered defects, but rather the silversmiths signature. No two are exactly alike. *What is Gold Vermeil? Vermeil (pronounced vehr-may; it's French!) is a legally regulated term that refers to a certain kind of quality jewelry. To be legally called "vermeil" in the United States, the jewelry piece must meet ALL of these conditions: 1. Have sterling silver as its base material. Sterling silver is an alloy made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other materials, and is a standard material used in high quality jewelry (versus, e.g., brass or copper). 2. Be plated in gold that is at least 10k (10 karats). That means the gold is at least 41.7% gold content. 3. Have gold plating that is at least 2.5 microns thick. A micron is 1/1000th of a millimeter.
