That is the one new thing I have learnt today, thank you for the info!A stamp of "1/20 14K GF" on jewelry means that the piece is gold-filled. The 1/20 means that there is one part gold to every 20 parts of other materials. The 14K on the stamp notes that the gold used is 14-carat gold.
Basically this is costume jewelry.
Anytime a piece is marked GF(gold filled), GP(gold plated) or HGE(heavy gold electroplate) it is costume jewelry.
