I know this may be a stupid question but isn’t the gold color on costume jewelry made of something else? Can you test it at home? There are no markings to indicate 14K, 10K or anything like that on the brooch or the necklace. Please don’t tell me to take it to a jeweler.

I designed a fine jewelry collection and I am about to work with a jeweler for the first time. Before I meet with him I would like to know what is the average cost for the following: Molds, Casting and Stone Setting. These molds would be used for first samples and then later production.

I need to know the physics behind how a jeweler can tell the authenticity of jewelry by using a touchstone. Can anyone explain this to me, even if you don’t know a whole lot about it?

I need to get my engagement ring re-sized but I don’t want to have it shipped across the country to do so. Is there a jewelry store that has a jeweler in house who can work on my ring on-site? I have used Solomon Brothers before but my understanding is that they also do not have an actual jeweler on site and ship your jewelry to somewhere else for it to be fixed. Thanks!
