14k has gold in it, that's for sure. Close inspection of your pictures looks like there is wear on the high points on the back. That might be an indication of electroplating- not solid gold. The coloration is from cloisonne - baked enamel, so it is a very nice piece even if not solid gold. The quality of the gold (plating or solid) can easily be tested by a jeweler. While there, have the stones checked as well, though it is unlikely they will be real diamonds if the metal is plated.
