- There are many miss leading sales going on on ebay stating items are gold filled when they really are cheap gold plate. There always has been a gray area when it comes to the exact difference in the different processes. Gold plate is electroplated and is a very very thin layer of gold. Gold fill is usually 1/10 or 1/20 10k, 14k, or 12k. This type of jewelry still has some value. Gold Vermeil usually sterling silver dipped in gold. Solid gold should be marked 10k, 12k (overseas), 14k , 18k, 22k, 24k. But remember one thing unless is 24k its technically not solid gold either, because it is mixed with another precious metal depending on the color of gold.
thank you for explaining about gold filled jewellery!!!
Thanks for the good info. You have a very nice voice too...very soothing!
trvldude thank you
how much should a gold vermeil coin (2.4cm) necklace cost? I am looking at one for around 220 and that seems quite expensive for what it is... but it is handmade and quite beautiful. is it worth it?
Thank you for sharing. So what is gold overlay then?
So which one is better for everyday use, and does it last in water?
What does 1/10th of gold mean is it still real gold will it not fade ?
Great explanation.
Thanks for the helpful video man👍
hey thanks this was interesting!!
In the 60 70s and 80s we bought v e r m e i l. It chipped so bad, all our jewelry did and I cannot believe that liquidation channel actually cell rings and jewelry made out of v e r m e i l for high prices when you know it's going to chip off. I texted them saying seriously? And they say it's expensive well it probably is expensive for chipping off the way it does. When we were teenagers we used to wear Vermeil from the drugstore for $3.75. Now they sell it for $75 and up. At least Platinum stays within the same color when it darkens as it rubs off. JTV jewelry last a lot longer than anyone else's when plated with anything. I don't know why but it does. Much better quality. And better prices
A good video the only thing missing is explaining that 100% gold is very soft. Gold is not a hard metal just like fine silver and most jewelers will mix with an alloy just as they do to create sterling silver. The lower the karat the more the mix and the strong the metal. 24k won't tarnish or fade but it's not holding it's shape either. A 14K or a well done gold filled bracelet is your best bet, for authenticity and longevity
Also the harder the more brittle, higher karat gold will outlast hard metals because gold is more malleable and will only sent or scratch, not break.
so u can get 18k gold filled n there 18k gold solid whats the different
Thank you!
So which on is better?
Here in ph gold filled has more value than vermeil. It lasts longer.
I'm still not sure man, I really want this necklace. It's a custom necklace that you can have worded in any way. But, it's the price. So, would vermeil be more efficient or should I just save the money?
Vincent Henderson Jr I mean if u wanna buy it buy it man it’s jus jewelry u can always get more cash to buy a expensive piece
Save your money bro get the real thing you'll appreciate it trust me
thanks for this vid
Great vid, thanks for the info very informative
I bought a gold bonded necklace from da mall 1/10 10kt gold but it aint plated came wit a lifetime warranty and errthang and it aint change yet and I dont think it will.
it just means it has a very thin layer of gold over it were talking microns thick thinner than a sheet of paper
1/10 of the weight is gold
You're thinking gold plated bud.
Derek that’s gold plated dumb ass stop tryna look smart you don’t even got gold kid

Diego Garro filled is better. has more gold.
What’s better 18k plated or 18k vermeil gold?im trynna buy this piece
Gucci X8 18k vermeil plated duh
Gucci X8 gold plated will change in a few months i had a plated and in the first wear it took the color from my shirt
vermeil can have fine silver as base metal, no?
yes, I have a 24k gold vermeil filled with pure sterling silver.
SwashTv3 how long does it last?
Technically I think vemeil is gold over .925 silver. Gold over .999 silver would not be vermeil technically. But whatever it doenst matter.
outer spacing yes, most commonly it is over sterling, but can be over fine silver. 👍🏻
@@marsbeads I know you can put gold over 999 silver. But I think it's not technically called vermeil. I think vermeil does mema gold over sterling silver. But same thing it's fine either way
so Vermeil gold is cheeper than 14k gold?
Ya
yes cheaper than solid 14k depending on how thick the chain is
cheaper? interesting i always thought it was a better gold since a lot of sites charge more for it
cheaper? interesting i always thought it was a better gold since a lot of sites charge more for it
Wow I am the first to comment, but where can I find a vermeil bracelet like that? I love the quality of the bracelet.
At Kohl's
So is buying gold plated worth it or not
It's haram anyways
Yung Adz no man lol not for me I feel like my friend got ripped off
does 18k gold filled fade?
yes with time
thekidduke312 Gold filled can only last like 5-10 years lol, while 10k & up solid gold are forever without harm
@@reekrodriqguez6552 10k ,14k,18k is gold filled just got less gold lol
@@angelbluerider9588 I know now
anything not solid gold is fake
This is not true, there are some super heavy gold filled and rolled pieces out there
No that's what makes it fake trust me take a "heavy gold filled" anything to a jeweler and i bet he won't take it because you can scratch it off that's why you should only buy solid gold if u want it to be worth your purchase
+A100 _ArenJ of course many jewelers won't buy it however, thick rolled gold is much harder to scratch of compared to the gold filled garbage made today. Get a vintage heavy rolled gold chain and tell me how hard it is to scratch through the gold.
But it always fails the acid test but honestly i think if your really into jewelry you would want the real thing thats actually what brought me to this video because i wanted to make sure when i buy my 1st piece it would be fully authentic
WatchDisplay so gold filled does fade .
