Hey ladies, I am panicing and need your expert advice ASAP!
I bought a 14K white gold diamond pendant today from a local jeweler. I asked the SA if the white gold had a plating at all and she said no it was indeed 14K white gold as said the receipt. The tags on the necklace said 14K and the tcw of the diamonds so I didn't pay much attention to the hallmark itself until I got home. I noticed it simply says '14' very sloppily and it is very hard to make out. It definitely doesn't have a 'K' and it only has two marks which resemble the number '14.'
Is this possible for white gold? Is it absolutely necessary to have the 'K' when marking gold? What metal did I buy? I am freaking out :cry:
