Important notes Due to Many items Being Rejected By Ebay's Authenticity program.
Many items stamped 14K (58.3% gold) often test slightly lower, around 13K to 13.5K,
because of manufacturing tolerances, the use of lower-karat solder, or intentional alloy
mixtures to increase durability. While many 14K items test as 13K-13.5K, they are still
considered, sold, and valued in the 14K category within the industry.
