Gold Vermeil Lobster Clasp Headpin Hallmarking

Our headpins are not hallmarked as they are under the required weight (7.78g for silver), please remember they are gold plated solid sterling silver, not solid gold! As they are 3 microns thick they are over the required minimum threshold for being called “vermeil” in the USA, so you can call them “gold vermeil”. In the UK to sell these you must clearly state that they are silver that is plated with gold to your clients. Please check your own country’s laws on the selling of gold plated items. Please see our blogs on Types of Silver and Types of Gold to read about the differences between gold filled and gold vermeil.
