Need opinions on vintage Krementz bracelet, solid 14k or gold filled?

I just bought this vintage Krementz bracelet from eBay Goodwill for around $1,000 and now I’m starting to question its authenticity. The listing says “14k Gold - Tested” and mentions it was tested with a Vanta GX XRF analyzer, plus it has eBay Authenticity Guarantee. But after buying it I started looking up similar Krementz bracelets and SO many of them are gold-filled/overlay instead of solid gold.

Now I’m scared I basically paid solid gold price for a gold-filled bracelet lol. Does this piece actually look like solid 14k to you guys? Did Krementz make solid gold versions of these floral cuffs or were they mostly gold-filled? Also there’s a little greenish discoloration in a few spots and I can’t tell if that’s normal vintage soldering/oxidation on 14k jewelry or a sign of plated/base metal underneath.

Would really appreciate opinions on whether its solid 14k or gold filled because I already bought it and I’m stressing.. thank you <3
