I have a pendant just like yours, at least on the back. Mine is marked with c in a circle (copyright?), 84 followed by a heart then OR then 14K. I bought at an auction in 2007. It's not a "black hills gold" piece. Never had it tested as I don't want to sell it. See it at least 2 or 3 times a year in online auctions, sells for about $20 - $25. When I first got it, I researched in and thought it was a company that was a predecessor to Aurafin, which is now owned by Warren Buffet. That company name was Oro America.
I assume mine is 14k solid gold, as it's been worn, cleaned, polished and shows no signs of abrasion.
I have a similar double heart pendant, marked 14K then OR inside a heart, then the copyright mark.

I just need to know if this is a real 14k necklace. I have no clue what the OR could mean.

The only way to know if it is actually 14K is to have it tested. I believe OR is a mark for Gold.

I see 24 the heart shape OR 14K, maybe it's a combination of both? Oro is Italian or Spanish for gold but don't know what OR would stand for.
