How can I tell if a 1908 Elgin pocket watch is solid gold?

Filed under: Other - Beauty & Style — Tags: , , — @ 7:14 pm

I have a 1908 Elgin pocket watch that I have been told is solid gold. Also, I have a Howard and Waltham I believe are as well. I can find no wording on them to indicate that. Is there a mark or lack of marks that will indicate this? Any ideas? I have no acsess to chemical tests.

How do I go about changing the settings of my rings from gold to white gold?

Filed under: Other - Beauty & Style — Tags: , , — @ 6:24 am

Over the years I’ve aquired a lot of nice rings but I no longer wear yellow gold. I want to put the stones from my rings into white gold settings. Does anyone know who does this and how much it will cost me?

My wedding ring turns gold within a week of having it rhodium (sp) cleaned?! What can I do?
