  I don’t judge or put labels on myself, as I feel unqualified to do so. Just take a look at my videos and you can tell me, one way or the other. Comments are always welcome, what ever they maybe.

  Good video. How about re-rhodium of white gold rings. Can you show us how? My mother and aunts and grandmothers all had white gold engagement rings and they never dulled. Now the white gold rings tarnish and fade and need the expensive re-rhodium plating done about 3 times a year. It sound like a racket. Can we do it ourselves, or can we buy rings that are of a higher level white gold that will never need this?
  Tks.

  If you do any silver buying for hoarding purposes, you might run into a few “lead” walls if you are only looking for 925 or some other form of stamped identification. This can be easily faked, and its being done by the Chinese quite a bit on sites like ebay. Also, those guys in most shopping malls that sell all the big chains and flashy watches? Alot of their stuff comes right from China wholesalers. I know here in VA we have alot of guys pushing fake silver and gold at mall kiosks
