What should I know about melting old jewelry?

Answer by  rbiales (3441)

This is one of the most dangerous tasks a beginner can do because fumes from melting jewelry can be very hard on your health, and can even kill you especially if the markings were counterfit or you misread them. Find someone who knows what they are doing already and watch them a bunch of times before you try alone.

Depending on what kind kind of jewelry it is, you may not get as much as you would like for your pieces. Places that melt down jewelry and make it into newer pieces do not want to pay much or they won't make a big profit off their new items.
