[QUOTE="KSW, post: 2363335, member: 8708"]Now I've taken more photos I can see the bit I thought was glue is actually part of the pearl!.Now I know that I agree it's better to leave them on the caps although the fake stamp annoys me. My amateur acid testing on a touchstone says none of it is gold and the use of 14TK rather than 14KT would appear to try to deliberately deceive at a quick glance. I'm still VERY happy with the pearls as they are but it does seem odd to fake 14k gold and then use fairly nice pearls. Or maybe those big but lumpy ones are two a penny?.
