I'll have to echo yowls sentiments Midnight, your work is exceedingly beautiful. You're very talented and with work like that your business is bound to succeed.
I have a piece of jewelry that I found at a yard sale, I thought at the time it was imitation turquoise because it was so cheap, but now I'm not so sure. The stone is about 1" long x 5/8" wide and about 1/4 "deep. The texture of the stone is not smooth, you can feel the imperfections along the grain. There are no markings and I assume the setting is silver, but I'm afraid to try the ole baking soda and aluminum foil cleaning method because I don't wont to damage the stone. Can I try this method without damaging the stone??? Do you think this is real turquoise??? I know its probably gonna be hard to tell from this pic, but I thought you might give it a shot. Thanks.
