    This beautiful necklace and bracelet are both poorly stamped. I think the stamp is supposed to say "18k" along with the "14k". So, if it's all gold would it be considered rose gold, white gold, and yellow gold? I'm also curious about its design. How was the metal shaped like this? Any thoughts on origin or style? Thanks for helping me!

    Yes.:) The rose gold would be considered pink gold, slightly lighter than rose.
    Most of these are mass produced in Italy. The links look machine stamped to me, but @Hollyblue can explain that better.
    Not all of these Italian gold necklaces are solid gold, some of them are plated, in spite of the mark.

    Yep, absolutely screams Italy. They seem very fond of this tricolor gold look. Milor is a big maker.

    By machine.

    I see. I suppose I will test it to see because I'm already curious about what part of it could be 14k and if the other part is actually 18k. Hopefully it's solid.

    The 18K is yellow and the 14K is pink,the chain is die stamped and "diamond cut".

    Thank you! Diamond cut... that explains why I thought the pieces were embellished with gemstones until further inspection. Is there anyway to tell what the white gold is without testing it?

    Hard to tell with white gold since most of it is rhodium plated.
