Identifying Earring Markings: NCR s/s over 14K - Is it Silver?

Question
I have an earring with a mark underneath that says- NCR s/s over 14K.

It is about 1 inch square with a 1/8th inch gold colored band over the center of the earring. I think the earring is either white gold with a yellow gold band, or, silver with a gold band. Does the mark;
NR s/s mean silver? Thank you for your help.

Answer
Hello John and thank you for your inquiry. I have not been able to find this mark in any of my resources but my guess is that it is sterling silver over 14K gold. The NCR could be the manufacturers hallmark. You might want to take your earring to a jeweler for metal authentication. They should be able to test it for you and possibly recognize the mark if it is a contemporary piece. Sorry I couldn't help you further.
