Researched this pair closely before I purchased. Asked on-line if they were stamped "14K" as elsewhere on site was a 10K pair for less money. After a long period, the rep told me there were no markings anywhere on the earrings. found that hard to fathom. but ordered the 14K anyway. When I received them they were stamped clearly 14K on each. Very beautiful, and diamond is small but clear. I like them on my small ears. If you are looking for a large earring this is not it, but a very nice every day pair. My only complaint is that the earring backs are not really well made, and are loose fitting, and even though I tightened them with jewelers pliers I needed to use another set of backs to get a secure fit.
