Metal Verification: The metal has been tested in-house using standard acid testing methods and is consistent with approximately 14 karat gold. Due to variations in historical manufacturing standards, the karat value is stated as approximate. Acid testing confirms that the gold of this item holds at the 14k level; however, this method does not provide the level of precision required to determine exact composition at a microscopic or decimal level. As a retail jewelry store, testing is conducted using industry-standard acid methods to verify gold purity within common benchmarks, including 10k, 14k, 18k, and 22k. For precise metallurgical analysis to the micro level, specialized laboratory equipment—such as that used by Gemological Institute of America—would be required. Accordingly, the gold is described as approximately 14k to ensure accuracy without overstating the capabilities of the testing method we are able to use. Condition: Pre-owned - Good.
