Gold vermeil and gold-plated vermeil refer to the same thing, as vermeil is a specific type of gold plating. Gold vermeil involves a layer of gold that is at least 2.5 microns thick and applied over sterling silver, according to legal standards in many countries. In contrast, general gold-plated jewelry can have a thinner gold layer and is often applied over various base metals, not necessarily sterling silver.
