I loved this ring when I first received it, despite how incredibly thin it is. Ive owned it for over a year now, worn daily with my engagement ring, and it is clearly NOT 14k white gold. It may have been plated with something, but after a year it has all but worn off. The base metal is a dingy yellowish color, nothing resembling white gold or silver. There is also no stamp of authenticity verifying the gold it supposedly used.
