Yellow Gold Ring Turned White Gold? Understanding the Change


Question
I have been wearing my rings for 15 years and today I looked down and instead of yellow gold they were white gold
2 of them are completely white and 1 is half white.  What has happened?  I did not use any chemicals

Answer
Hello..This is totally a guess..I have no expertise in this...
as I understand, vermeil is a layer of gold over sterling silver..(not gold fill which goes over non precious metal)..if you bring this ring to a goldsmith, he should be able to test it and help you..
