Gold-filled describes when a layer of gold is mechanically bonded with heat and pressure to one or more surfaces of the supporting base metal,such as brass, then rolled or drawn to a given thickness. In the jewelry industry the quantity of gold must be at least 1/20th by weight of the total product. Gold Filled items will remain gold for a lifetime if cared for properly. Unless you are using harsh chemicals abrasives, lotions or perfumes, the gold layer will stay gold for years to come!

There are several methods to clean gold filled jewelry. Now, I use an Ionic Cleaner but before I got that, I used the small jars of jewelry cleaner from the drug store. You can also use Dawn dishwashing liquid & an old toothbrush to scrub it, then rinse it well & pat it dry. Although 14kt Gold Filled jewelry will not tarnish, it will get dirty. The oils from your skin transfer to the metal and need to be washed off periodically. See similar questions...

Vermeil is gold (usually 18k or 22k) electroplated onto sterling silver with a minimum thickness of 2.5 microns. (Regular plating is less than 2.5 microns.) Gold Filled has a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, that is mechanically bonded to the basemetal with heat and pressure. The thickness depends on the gauge of wire.
