The arms feature flirtatious flower decorations, and the piece crowns a small acorn at the nexus of both. About vermeil: Simply put, vermeil refers to a variety of metal that is coated with gold. For metal to be considered vermeil, it must meet three main commercial criteria: The base metal must be sterling (92.5%) or fine (99.9%) silver, which is why vermeil is also known by its other names, silver-gilt or gilt silver; the purity of the gold must be at least 10 carats; and the thickness of the gold layer must be a minimum of 2.5 microns (0.0025 millimeters). If these three criteria are not met, then the metal would be classified as “gold-filled.” Gold vermeil is also found in other colors such as rose gold or white gold. While gold vermeil is popularly used in jewelry, it is a versatile metal with other uses as well. It is commonly used in home accessories and furnishings, and even in sports trophies and gold medals. Shipping of the product will be paid by the buyer according to the dimensions, weight, and destination. We will contact you to arrange this and agree on a quote. Shipping costs include custom-made professional packaging and personalized shipping, with a tracking number and warranty. The buyer is responsible for paying import duties and associated taxes in the destination country, if applicable. Please note the seller's disclaimer regarding possible customs charges, as these are levied in the destination country and the amount due is determined by that country's customs office.
