I'd suggest that the morganite variety of beryl is the most common pinkish-orange gemstone.

Beads cost different prices depending on what beads you buy and where you buy them. You can spend $200 on one 14K gold bead or you can get a 1/2 mass (600) of beads for a few dollars. It all depends on what you want to make and what budget you set for yourself.

Gold-tone over base metal is not the same as gold. Silver-tone over base metal is not the same thing as silver. Many base metals are used to make jewelry, and they are often coated with paint to make it look like gold or silver, but once the paint wears off, the metal can react with the skin and turn it green.

This is especially true of jewelry that is made of copper and then coated with paint. Copper reacts to the sweat in a person's skin, and turns green.

Gold-filled and gold-plated jewelry may also have certain base metals that react with a person's skin. The same is true of silver-plated and silver-filled.

Sterling silver, Bali silver and such are not reactive and should not turn the skin green.

Gold should not turn the skin green.

Electroplate is another way of fusing gold or silver to base metal, and it is very durable, but if the plating ever cracks, the base metal could be reactive with the skin.

The way to avoid purchasing something that will turn your skin green is to check for the tiny stamp imprinted on gold (it will tell how many carats of gold the jewelry is made of) and sterling silver (it will say sterling, and perhaps be accompanied by some numbers).

The short answer is yes, but and the long answer is no. I'm assuming the reason people are asking this question is that they would like to re-use the gold they have melted down. If they are merely preparing the gold to sell to the refiner, then the answer is certainly yes. Also, by the way, if your crucible is not coated in borax the gold will stick and you will be in a real mess. Gold you melt down needs to be refined before you use it again. You do not know what solder has been used on it and how much. Even a small amount will drastically affect how the gold acts. Most commonly the gold will crack when you try to work with it.

Well. 825 stamp on jewelry it is silver alloys; like 725 or 925 stamp is the same silver alloys. Sincerely: L.L.E.P.

14k is 14 karat gold. Gold is purity is measured in karats, with 24 karat being pure gold. 14 karat is 14 out of 24 parts gold, so it's 58.5% gold and the rest is other alloys.

The CH could be a maker's hallmark, or the initials of the company that made the piece.

"20 microns" is a size measurement that has very little indeed to do with evaluating a piece of jewelry. More applicable would be someting like karat markings or carat weight.

a great home remedy for jewelry cleaning is boil 3 parts boiling water,to one part of amonnia,and a half part of dishwashing detergent,use an old toothbrush to clean,but for any porous stones clean the piece by hand,without touching the pourous gemstone,such as turquoise,pearls,onyx etc.

With the soaring price of gold, a lot of genuine diamond jewelry is being produced in 925 (Sterling Silver) settings.

yes gold can be used on almost anything one can have it customized to be used on almost anything,such as bathroom fixtures etc,even a known celebrity KL Simmons had it on her customized cell phone.

Jewelry professionals use a magnifier, also called a loupe (pronounced loop), to inspect gemstones and other jewelry. These magnifying loupes have special lenses that allow our eyes to focus on an object at a much closer distance than is normally possible, making the object appear to be larger and revealing tiny details we couldn't see with our normal vision

This just means the percentage of a particular metal in the jewelry piece, usually silver or platinum. Marked 900 means there is 90% pure silver or platinum mixed with other alloys, as pure silver is very soft, and cannot be used for making jewelry pieces or anything else, without another metal to give it strength, such as copper.

That means that the silver that it is made of is 92.5% pure; the highest level of purity in jewelry. Silver with higher levels of purity are too soft and are easily scratched and bent to be useful.

Many gems are cut in South Asia, where labour is cheap.

Gems are put upon a piece of wax. This is called a dop. It is stuck onto an arm of a machine which is then lowered onto a turning disc covered with diamond dust or other grit.

Stamped 55 on gold ring

1)You can just buy it and have it sized afterwards

2) Most rings come new at size 6 because about 1/2 of women are that size on at least 1 finger. Thus you can get lucky

3) You can borrow a ring and find out what size it is already. Then get the ring sized to that size

4) Ask a friend or relative of hers

Any gemstone that is set in jewelry that is worn next to the skin usually has a hole in the setting, which allows liquid cleaner or steam to circulate around the stone to clean it.

The gemstone so mounted does not have to be a genuine or precious gemstone, simply one that should be cleaned.

Pure gold is not practical for most jewelry applications because it is too soft so other metals are added to make it harder. Items that are marked "P" for plumb means that it has more gold in it and thus more valuable so 10kp is more valuable than 10kt.

I recommend a strong and durable wood depending on use, if it is a tool box you carry from job to job, or a bench top/roll-a-round. Oak and or Ash is a good choice, keep in mind that its not so much the type of wood, but what kind of joints, I suggest box joints or dovetail. With these type of joints and the glues we have today most any wood will do, you can even make it out of manufactured wood, (MDF, Particle Board, Plywood, etc.)

I have made several out of the latter and they show no signs of wear, (I used butt joints with biscuits and Titebond III glue)
