14k gold vermeil and 14k gold filled refer to different types of gold jewelry finishes. 14k gold vermeil consists of a thick layer of 14k gold (at least 2.5 microns) electroplated over sterling silver, offering a high-quality finish with a precious metal base. In contrast, 14k gold filled involves bonding a thicker layer of 14k gold (at least 5% of the item's total weight) to a base metal, such as brass, through heat and pressure, making it more durable and resistant to wear than vermeil.
