We suddenly seem to be swamped with "gold vermeil" on QVC. I was interested to see this is a term commonly used in the US, but not used in UK.

I think QVC are using the term to give us an impression that their plated items are somewhat better than the competition's. Given that the term isn't commonly used in UK, it's probably disingenuous. Rather than be wowed by this term, I'd be inclined to check with other suppliers about their plating thickness, rather than take it on trust that QVC's plating is better.

this ring never came to air as they changed the OTO & ive heard this term used on lots of the shopping channels & the jewellery ones

& QVC used to have hours called "Colours of vermeil" & it was sterling silver with different coloured gold vermeil on it like yellow & rose & it was acutally very affordable & was very popular too

I'm sure it was popular, not saying any different. My point is more that this term has become very prevalent, and I think it is used as a more attractive way of saying gold plate rather than simply referring to it as gold plate. In my view, it is used to convey the idea that it is superior to what is available elsewhere. Is there actually any proof that what is referred to as gold vermeil on QVC is in fact of a superior thickness of gold plate when compared with other retailers who don't use this term to describe their products?

there was when they used to do it as it used to be measured in microns & all sorts & QVC's in the old days was the thickest & was well tested in the past but i dont know about the current batch

vermail is a term used gold plating silver. most companies use that term. i have some dinny hall vermail and its very very good. but its a lot more expensive than qvc . veronese is the qvc equivilent and i dont think its as good as it used to be.

i remember manyyears ago qvc did some really heavy silver plated in yellow and rose gold.

Very interesting... so gold vermeil should be of a superior thickness to something described as gold plated?

The cynic in me assumes that gold vermeil is maybe where gold plated used to be, and anything still described as gold plated is thinner.

It sounds like I need to be careful what I buy - to be sure and do my homework when the word plated is used. Thanks all for the explanations :mysmilie_59:

Like you said,Veronese gold , lately looks very cheap, almost painted on , on certain pieces that are shown on air. I once got one of their popcorn link watches and it looked really good ( I had to send it back of some reason)
