What is Gold Plated?

by Ashton Berglund September 30, 2019
Gold plated jewelry is essentially the same as vermeil jewelry, only the base metal is a blend of lower quality metals such as copper, zinc and brass. The quality can be great however is does tarnish quicker and not a good alternative if you have allergies to certain metals.
