Diamonique is always set in the finest of precious metals. They are NEVER set in any type of Gold Plated. Only 14K yellow or white solid gold. The ring, bracelet or whatever will always state DQ 14k. This is their trademark. If the item does not state this, it is NOT a true Diamonique. Always ask before you buy. There have been a lot of ads in the Diamonique section with gold plated items.
