Hi!

Today I am going to tell you how we can recover your old gold jewelry to transform it into new treasures.

In this video we turn a lot of old jewelry in three new Atlantis rings.

The first thing you have to know is that getting your gold back is worth money.

It's like when you have a space at home in which you want to do some improvements: yes, you have real estate that has great value, but doing work on it also has a cost.

The price of a gram of gold is very high and therefore a jewelry workshop is designed to collect all the filings and not lose a bit of gold. That is why it is very important not to mix gold of different quality, because if gold that is not 18-carat enters my jewelry table, it will end up mixing with 18-carat gold filings and with that the mix will be altered and my gold will no longer be of law. It would become a gold of lower purity and unfit for brittle work in the workshop and illicit and illegal for my jewelry.

So to recover your gold we have three options:

• One: You sell your gold in a gold-buy and with that money you entrust me with the treasure that you like the most.
• Two: you send me your gold and I send it to the laboratory and they return it to me certified.
• Three: you send me your gold and I will found it. That means I close my workshop, clean everything up, work exclusively with your gold, clean again, and move on with more work.

I always recommend the first or the second option, but well... I am a romantic in my profession and I perfectly understand that there are pieces that have sentimental value but that you don't like and for that reason you want to give them a new life but with that same gold.

Ah! And you have to take into account that there is loss: gold that is lost along the way. If you want a new treasure of 13 grams, you can't bring me 13 grams: I need more because the tips of the ingot cannot be used because we model and we are losing fines, and because there is always a 10% loss. As you can see, all the filings are collected, they are melted down again and in this case there is not 10%, but there is 8% loss.

And here are your three new Atlantean rings, plus the small piece of filament that has been left over, and that 8% loss.

Thank you very much for listening to me. If you have any questions, contact me at MeriTomasa.com. See you on the next video!
