The gold I use for fuming is way more pure than 14K. The copper and whatever other alloys are in 14K may really change the results of the fume. If you want to try it, I can give you some simple instructions, it isn't hard. But wear a ventilator mask and have the exhaust going strong. 14K has a pretty high melting temp compared to silver. You should be able to imbed it but be aware that the color of the gold may shift - again, due to the alloys and the composition of the glass you choose. Personally, I'd put it in the scrap to recycle, gold is really high priced right now...PM me if you want to try fuming, anytime.
