I acid tested it myself. It passed the 10K acid, and a fresh streak held under the 14K acid with a slight brownish tint, which suggests the lower end of 14K. It has not been tested by XRF.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 4.4 gram total includes the glass ball. I did not take the piece apart, because I didn't want to damage it just to weigh the gold. Based on the ball's size, I estimate the glass at about 3.5 grams, which would leave roughly 0.9 grams of gold. Please treat that as an estimate, not a measured gold weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyling props shown in photos are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLearn more:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/what-is-millefiori-glass-a-guide-to-millefiori-beads-and-murano-style-jewelry\"\u003eWhat Is Millefiori Glass?\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/vintage-antique-glossary#term-purity-mark\"\u003eWhat's a purity mark?\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oddly Darling Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68282415644871,"sku":"J-0139","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/7028\/5255\/files\/artisan-millefiori-glass-bead-pendant.jpg?v=1794089961","url":"https:\/\/www.oddlydarlingvintage.com\/products\/artisan-millefiori-glass-bead-pendant","provider":"Oddly Darling Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
