I've had it for a few months. It has engraved "14 K" on the inside and at first it never left any marks, however latey it has started leaving a black mark around my finger it looks like led and if I rub on it it goes away. I guess what I'm asking is am I somehow allergic to it or is it a fake? It hasn't rusted or anything it still looks beautiful.

It hasn't turned green or red or purple or anything like that. I thought I'd add.

I've experienced this before, on occasion. Here's what I found out on the net. The base metal content, mainly copper, in low carat gold alloys can and does get attacked by acids in perspiration and in the atmosphere. The result is oxides and other salts which rub off onto skin and fabrics leaving black or green marks. The lower the gold content of the alloy, and the higher the proportion of base metal, the more likely the alloy is to be attacked by acids and other chemicals. Conversely, the higher the carat quality and the lower the base metal content, the less likely there will be any reaction with chemicals.
If you don't want to stop wearing this piece, coat the inside with a layer of clear nail enamel and let dry completely before wearing again.

No, your ring is NOT a fake.
The black is tarnish rubbing off of the gold, and on to your finger. Clean the ring, then polish it. The black will stop appearing after you wear it. Most jewelry needs to be cleaned and polished about once a month.

Its fake you must not of went to a well know jewler like Zales or Ben Bridge. I never buy expensive jewlery unless I am going to a well known dependable jewler like Zales or Ben Bridge. But I don't think there is much you can do if you got ripped off.

Your ring is not gold at all & it's real fake, if you spend lots of money & they told you it was real gold you should go back & get your money. STOP wearing it.
