    Loved this Thelma! Don't know how many times I junked nice pieces because of discolored ware. I have had these pens for art. Never thought I could have spared some cool stuff.

    God Bless the work you do for a very long time.

      Cecilia, my grandma passed on her jewelry to all of us granddaughters. She left a note with a little bit of the history on each piece. Some of the notes said things like "Bought in France with your Gramps. He griped about the price but I got it anyway". "Wore these to the Grammy's in 1980." "Found in a pawn shop in Vegas and wore this during the birth of my 2nd child." "Found this Chanel at a flea market in Texas for $2 bucks!" Or one of my faves: "Not worth much, but I wore it to all of your Mom's baby showers". It made each piece so much special to know all of these details, even if it wasn't a typically "valuable" piece to someone else! Just an idea! ❤

    Hi. LOVED your training video! You cover so much in your video!
    I need some help. I would like to know the name of the painting pens you use. I need to touch up some of my pins where the gold or silver tone overlay has rubbed off from age and use. I have never done this before and some of the pins are 60+ old.
    Thank you.

    Have you tried seeing how well it’s really applying? Like rubbing water on, does it start coming off?
    If it does come off what I think you could add is a top coat to seal the marker.
    I thought about dumping a bunch of matching pieces in a gold or silver plating tank.
