... as to the gold vermeil. This is an interesting process indeed.

Here is what I understand about the process.

The kaleidoscope itself is cast first in Sterling silver then it is plated in 24 Karat Gold. We have asked our artist Friends Kevin and Deborah What Karrat they like to use and it has been as high as 30 K and lowest was 18 K but most lastest have been in the 24 Karrat.
