I have a refiner I am getting ready to try. I send them my jewelry, they process it in it's own batch and chemically seperate the metals and then drop them from solution. They then send me a check for the gold content - 2%. They keep the silver. They also then ship my stones back to me in perfect condition. If there are any CZs in them they will be frosted.



I am going to send this stuff off next week and will report back when the whole process is done.

Even those little diamond chips are worth money if you end up with enough jewelry going through them. I think I saw someone offering around $40 per carat for them. (that is a lot of chips and small diamonds).
