Yes, 14k gold vermeil is real in the sense that it consists of a layer of 14 karat gold over a base metal, typically sterling silver. For a piece to be considered true vermeil, it must have a gold layer that is at least 2.5 microns thick. While it is not solid gold, it offers a more affordable option with the appearance of gold jewelry.
