Where can I buy dull matted gold color jewelry chain in bulk?

Filed under: Hobbies & Crafts — Tags: , , — @ 4:47 pm

I have looked everywhere online to find this dull matted gold chain and all I can find is bright and very shiny bulk chain. I need to know the type of metal it is, or what finish is that’s put on the base metal please. Any type is fine.

How do I clean those Gold George Washington dollar coins?

Filed under: Hobbies & Crafts — Tags: , , — @ 8:27 pm

Some of my gold George Washington dollar coins are getting tarnished and I am wondering what would be the best way to get them to a spiffy shine yet again. Don’t bother suggesting coca-cola or lemon juice – I tried those already and they just ended up with this corrosive finish instead of golden. =/

Any advice would be helpful.
I do understand that cleaning coins reduces their value to collectors. However, I am using them as props and am not retaining them for their collectors’ value.

I want to be Michael Phelps for Halloween, so naturally, I need a buttload of fake gold medals. Any ideas on what to use for a quick fix?
