Brenda when you say they are Genuine pearls - I'm thinking you mean Cultured pearls and not Natural Pearls? Concerning the mark, it could be a maker's mark, however, there are Sooo many different styles of arrow marks. An image of the mark will be necessary. Can you resubmit and upload an image of the mark in a follow-up submission? Also any background information about the pearl earrings will help - The caratage - 14K is a common gold standard in the US - do you know for certain where they were made? Regards Rebecca
