Jewelry

Does Elements of Grace use lab-created or imitation gemstones?

In a word, no.  Elements of Grace™ only uses natural gemstones. 

What is the difference between plated, vermeil, filled, and solid metal?

Gold Plated: The application of a precious metal, like gold, onto another metal (often brass, copper, or nickel).  The plating has to be at least 0.5 microns thick.  Because it’s so thin, it accounts for less than 1% of the total weight of the item.

Gold Vermeil: The process of vermeil is very similar to plating with two key differences.  The precious metal must be applied to another precious metal (sterling silver) and it must be at least 2.5 microns thick.  For reference, a typical coffee filter is 20 microns thick.

Gold Filled: Two-three layers of solid gold wrapped around a non-precious metal (usually brass).  At least 1/20 of its weight needs to be made from real gold.    

Solid Gold: Highest percentage of gold by weight, more resistant to tarnishing because it has the same metal throughout, almost always the most valuable of option, and has the most longevity.
