[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9586570, member: 2844"]I'm sorry, it isn't, there is the setting issue komo mentioned. It looks like someone has been hacking away at the mount to remove the stone. The marking doesn't look old to me, it looks very crisp. And the use of the 14k mark is a fairly recent thing in China. With Chinese jewellery there is always the question if the gold or silver content is as marked. It could have been made in Hongkong, but even then it is probably not older than 1970 or so.[/QUOTE]
