What does 14kt fp mean on a ring?

The marking "14kt fp" on a ring indicates that the piece is made of 14-karat gold and features a "filled" or "plated" process. "Fp" typically stands for "gold-filled," meaning that a layer of gold is mechanically bonded to a base metal, providing a more affordable option while maintaining the appearance of gold. Gold-filled jewelry is more durable than gold-plated items, but it may still wear over time.
