14KT GOLD VERMEIL
For a jewel to bear the 14kt vermeil designation, it must be made of 925 silver and then plated with 14kt gold.
Vermeil reduces the risk of allergy and reaction, as both metals are usually hypoallergenic.
At Beblue, we have a high quality standard and we apply 14kt gold plating with a thickness of 2.5 microns, allowing you to wear your jewelry every day and without moderation.
Benefits:
This precious metal activates our connection to power, presence in the moment and our personal autonomy.
Interesting fact:
According to some beliefs, gold has the particularity of coming from the stars, it was not initially formed on Earth.
Gold would come from the explosion of a supernova or the fusion of two stars, which adds to its value.
Gold Filled
Gold filled is a thick layer of 14k gold applied to a brass or copper base.
In order to qualify as "gold filled", the weight of gold in the final jewel must be equivalent to one-twentieth of its total weight.
Compared to a piece of gold-plated jewelry, it's simply fifty to a hundred times more gold.
We then understand that gold-filled jewelry is more resistant than classic gilding.
