Brass Jewellery and Co. - The Difference between Brass, Gold Plated and Vermeil

Gold, gold-plated, vermeil, brass and beads - there is almost no material under the sun that can't be turned into jewellery. This doesn't mean that all materials are equally resistant, easy to clean, hypoallergenic, sturdy and suitable to pass the test of time. At Alchemista we source and sell mostly brass jewellery alongside our collection of beaded earrings. Let's look at the three most common golden jewellery materials - brass, gold, gold-plated and vermeil.
