Rescuing a gold filled watch chain
The pink stuff paste rescues thrashed gold filled. I apply to a cotton rag and polish in hand. You will be shocked at what it can do.

@Kara Kimmel it is abrasive enough to remove the tarnish from the gold fill. There is gold left, just hiding underneath the tarnish. Most believe from looking at the before picture that the gold is "gone". In many cases ( like this one) it is not. I'm sure there are instances where there are pieces that are just too far gone that this doesn't help But dont take my word for it, try it out ๐Ÿ’ƒ
Sourced today with the Pawn Broker.
Did some sourcing today with the pawn broker. I took my advice from Brad with me. I felt completely confident. It's awesome having these new tools in my toolbox. I didn't let the guy bully me. Although had I not spoken up right away, I think he would have tried. We got a conference room at the library. Spread all of the jewelry out and I was able to go through it and pick out what I wanted. I got about 30 pounds. This is about 2/3 of it I paid about $10 a pound which I think is pretty fair considering what I got. I have paid $10 a pound from Shop Goodwill and gotten almost nothing but garbage. There was not a lot of super vintage in there but I probably got 50 nice costume rings I got a few nice vintage brooches, some screw back and about 20 pair of clip on Monet earrings but not as much Vintage as I would have liked. This lot was more contemporary but, I did get some good signed pieces, some sterling, crazy cool bone necklaces, I even found a tiny 10k antique locket in there.

My idea of educational doom scrolling
I recently found this guy on Facebook, he identifies and describes the most amazing highest end jewelry. Since a lot of antique and vintage costume jewelry is modeled after โ€˜theโ€™ designers, I feel like Iโ€™ve learned from watching these reels. Just be forewarned, dont start watching until you have time! The jewelry isโ€ฆ.well youโ€™ll see! https://www.facebook.com/reel/1215294480502945/?fs=e&s=TIeQ9V&fs=e&fs=e
