No. I would want one that states 14k like it should. If it's not marked as such that would tell me it's not 14k.

@Molson Who did you purchase it from?  Does it have the maker's mark on it?

If the gold hallmark is missing, you have no way of knowing what you bought.  You might have paid for 14k but without that hallmark, it could be 10K or 9K or gold over silver.  Look it over very carefully, make sure that it's no so small that it's hard to see with the naked eye.

If you bought this from QVC I would send it back for another, it's on them if they advertise an item as 14k and it's not hallmarked. I would not pay gold prices for no proof of gold content.

I am going to take it to my jeweler. QVC is so wonderful I cannot imagine that this is not the real thing. I will let you know.  It is a very pretty ring.

Sometimes the newer marks are very teeny tiny and hidden somewhere inside.

 

I would use a loupe and examine it carefully.
