14k overlay means that the object has a coating of metal that is fourteen carat gold. That means that 14/24 (by weight) of the covering metal is gold (about one third if the alloying metals are copper and nickel which is common). There is no telling how thick this covering is , it may just be a few molecules or it may be many microns (one micron is 0.001 millimeter). In any case the total weight of gold in the object is not very great but i may be very pretty and fairly corrosion resistant.
