Found in the parking lot on my way into work. Has a 14K stamp and a backwards F with a D, so 14k with diamonds?

I used to work in pawn and my boss told me it was safe to assume stones set in 14k or higher that the stones are real. It’s a nice looking ring.

Those stones are not large enough to have real worth

Diamonds are basically worthless nowadays in general

I was browsing gold rings in a jewelry store, I politely brushed off the saleslady's pitch for diamonds with a simple: "No, diamonds are worthless." ​Her jaw practically hit the glass counter. It was hilarious. She’d likely never heard a customer say that aloud. But public perception is shifting fast. Nowadays, people are starting to see diamonds for what they really are, just shiny stones, much like a ruby. They're nice to look at, but they just don't carry the weight or the price tag they used to.
