    It's not so uncommon for otherwise 'fashion' earrings to have 14K or sterling wires/posts because many people cannot tolerate base metal in their piercings.

    Wouldn't those have vermeil wires? Earrings are not always marked on all parts.
    Best have the dangles and the stones tested.

    This is quite true. My terse, wee hours comment was only to say that you cannot validly conclude that because the wires are marked 14K, other metal parts will be of equal quality.
