Brought it home and gave it a good cleaning. It looked good under the jewlers loope , no markings , so next was the acid test.

I tested all three parts the hoop the main ring and the flowers. Heres the 10k test after three minutes. The 14k dissolved slowly. .7 of a gram. Today's value $12.13. Whoo hoo !
Thanks for looking. GL&HH.
