Usually if it is gold filled or plated it will have another abbreviation like G.F. or E.P. ( electro plate ) Can we see the back ?

I read online that Carl Art made sterling , gold , and gold filled jewelry , all marked as such . There are pictures of the gold filled mark on Illusion Jewels Researching page , and it definitely has a G.F. I would say chances are high that yours is 10 K gold .
The only way to know for sure is to test . I guess you do not have testing acids ? They are so easy to use and affordable here on eBay . If you don't want to test yourself , you could try a jewelry store or pawn shop . They usually don't mind testing . Especially if you make friends with them first . 😊 Good Luck !

I agree with Mermaid. it if only says 10KT with nothing after it to indicate it is plated or filled then it is 10k. I sold a 14k Carl Art brooch earlier this year and it was marked in the identical fashion, except it said 14kt.
