My wife accidentally dripped some power glue to her earring, on the stalk part, where the other part comes in to attach it to her ear (I know it sounds complicated, but I don't know how to call it).

Gold stamp query by David Griffiths
I have a ring with 14KP stamped inside it. Does this mean it's 14Karat plated rather than solid gold? Also, what does the copyright sign mean when it's stamped inside a ring - is it signifying cubic zirconia rather than diamonds as the "diamond" gems? Dave

WHY ARE UNCUT EMERALDS WORTHLESS?? by wyatt wyatt
I know very little about gems, but I always thought emeralds, rubies etc. were regarded as precious stones and quite valuable. Then I see online where people will sell emeralds, rubies etc. for a few dollars each. They say these are from mines and "uncut". What am I missing here? Does it cost a lot...

Scrap gold by Andy Parker

I have no idea if this is pure or what - any suggestions apart from chucking it in my next refining batch (that could be quite a while). This gold has not been deposited, I get...
