I inherited my grandmother’s jewelry. Some of it is very obviously costume jewelry but other pieces look like they may be gold. How can you know (without going to a jeweler) if something is gold, gold filled, gold plated etc? Is “gold filled” valuable?

K.B. asked:


I’ve seen some interesting jewelry for sale on crafter sites (like Etsy etc) that appear to be metal that is pinkish in color, either by the metal’s property itself, or it’s been colored somehow.

I can’t seem to find anything for sale on the jewelry supply sites anywhere.

Anyone seen anything like this? Either already colored or a process by which you can color it yourself?

I’m talking about either chain link for bracelets, or the links and findings.
