If this is 14k gold, and not gold plated as you stated, just unsure as to why this would be set with cubic zirconiums? I see that the band is thin, but the 14k would still show in some way in the pic?
Have been over the ring again and can't find a mark. I was told it was 14k when I was given the ring and it was brought at a very reliable jeweler. It could be plated.
