<p><b>Vermeil</b> (pronounced <i>vehr-MAY</i>), also known as silver gilt is a combination of sterling silver, gold, and other precious metals. It is commonly used as a component in jewelry. A typical example is sterling silver coated with 14-carat gold. To be considered vermeil, the gold must also be at least 10-carat and be at least 1.5 micrometres thick. Sterling silver covered with another metal cannot be called vermeil.</p><p>Vermeil can be produced by either fire-gilding or electrolysis. The original fire-gilding process was developed in France in the mid-1700s; however, France later banned the production of vermeil because over time artisans developed blindness due to mercury involved in the process. Today, vermeil is safely produced by electrolysis.</p><p>Vermeil。它是一个专用术语,意为在纯银上镀金。 金箔必须预先被碾薄到100万分之一英寸厚(约为:2.5微米)。才能被用来制作Vermeil.。15世纪的印加王朝发明了这项技术,而现代的Vermeil(纯银镀金)在18世纪的法国得到了空前的发扬,从盛蛋杯到耳环,无一不运用到这项技术。完全由贵金属打造的Vermeil是价值和华贵的体现.。在笔身上应用Vermeil技术是极为罕见的。优雅的金色被完美的覆盖在笔身表层。通常这种技术为钟表匠和银匠所掌握.。<br/><br/>代表作品:</p><p> </p><p>派克75 Vermeil钢笔</p><p></p><p>2006版卓尔特别版的Vermeil是在925纯银的表层电镀5微米的23K金。笔身均匀雕刻出的线条使镀金表层下的纯银基底显露出来,显示了如同鳄鱼皮纹般的闪亮效果.。</p><p>CARAN d'ACHE的一千零一夜限量版钢笔。<strong>Mille et Une Nuits。</strong><br/><br/></p><br/>
