These are the Vermeil-style Beads currently in stock. US government specifications are rather detailed about which products can be labeled "Vermeil". Due to the difficultly of verifing and detailing exact MIL thickness of gold plating for each item shown here, we are describing these beads and findings as "Vermeil-style". All have a base of 92.5% Sterling Silver and a generous plating of high karat gold.
