Gold vermeil is a type of jewelry made by coating sterling silver with a thick layer of gold, typically at least 2.5 microns thick, through an electroplating process. Yellow gold, on the other hand, is an alloy made by mixing pure gold with other metals like copper and zinc to enhance its durability, and it is solid throughout rather than being a coating. The key difference is that gold vermeil has a silver core, while yellow gold is a solid gold alloy.
