Vermeil (pronounced ver-may) is a combination of precious metals to produce semi-fine quality jewelry. The inside core is pure sterling silver, the outside is a solid coating of finely crafted 14 karat gold.

Ahhhhhhh, "I see" said the blind man as he peed in the wind and said "oh, it all comes back to me now".

So, I guess you didn't get the cold that Mario has? Or did ya and you're home for the day?

Kari, be careful purchasing vermeil, the gold can wear off quickly depending on how thick the coating is, I believe they measure the coating in mils.

I believe HSN vermeil, or Technibond, is 18k plated, and does have a lifetime warranty on the pieces. Anyone out there purchase any Technibond and how does it wear?

I have a technibond semi-rigid bangle bracelet and I love it. I've worn it often, but not recently. I think it has held up well.
