What do you think plated or 14k as stamped?

Need more and better photos....
 
Picture is so out of focus we cant read the stamped marks. Need in focus pictures. Before posting picture, magnify it to be sure it is in focus..
 
The stamp marks are completely in focus. Trust me. I was a photographer for 30years.

I asked my friend to send me some pics before I gave it back to him🫰🏻 hopefully he had taken some before other than the one I had taken and the one he took with me in focus in the back ground.
 
OBN?

Looks plated for sure. Most gold jewelry has a smooth, polished finish—no bumps or pits. You can see the under metal, probably copper.
 
OK, so it looks like it’s plated junk totally agree but what’s it made out of?

This pic was taken before it was cleaned

Anybody familiar with weight wanna chime in?

Absolutely even when I checked the inside, which was smooth, but had different color tones like there was a silver metal underneath and the gold plated had worn away, my old buddy. The leprechaun always told me check the inside if it’s smooth it’s 99% legit!!🍀

Still can't tell, I have found gold jewelry is very hard to capture its real look in pictures. The original posted picture I would say it looks plated. As far as what it's plated over one has to have it in hand. I would acid test the ring with some deep scratches on the stone or I have cut rings in half just to see if the gold goes thru. Then I acid test the exposed metal on a stone. What camara are you using? Pictures must be small files for they seem to be a little pixilated.
 
OK, iPhone 15 I don’t know you’re telling me my pictures come in pixelated now is this with all the rest of my posts or is this something new?
As far as low pixel pictures, I don’t control that that’s up to Tnet

Completely difficult to tell with photographs this one was even more difficult to tell in person in my hand. The weight was the only thing that made me suspicious of it being maybe good

I have found that anything that has the orange peel look to the metal is fake, but clearly the pitting and places of discoloration would say that this is NOT real!

However, Rose gold has copper mixed with it, and it can appear orange peel like coloring.
 
Looked up Diana jewelry 🏴‍☠️
