jewelry repair

Hi folks

I need to pick your brains. Look on the back of this pendant. See the copper color that is on the back of the clear rose? Is that a special glue or a thin foil you put on back of this type of jewelry? The reason I need to know is I want to fix this necklace. On the third photo you will see how the metal it is mounted on shows through on the top of the rose. If I can I wanted to fix that. Does anyone know?

OK......but you were included for your skill.....which I still believe was warranted...

 

Naaahhh......you've earned it !!!

 

Twice over !!!

 

I agree komokwa

 

It's late Monday....but I'm sure Stormy.....you'll get the help you need in due course...........even if ' Hunting ' & I ....aren't the ones to give it to you !

 

I am trying to put together a few more items. This getting the lighting right in picture taking is killing me. lol

 

I feel ya !!
Sometimes it comes together......other times....it's a fight !

 

It is a charming pendant, Stormy.
Looking at the central part of the pendant I think the rose needs a backing, and it could have been foil-backed to reflect the light.
Foil-backing is a costume jewellery technique taken from Ethnic jewellery. I know Ethnic jewellery, but this isn't it. It is costume, where the materials are different. So I leave this one to repair magician kyra and the costume joolies.

Sorry kyra, didn't mean to make you sound like the lead singer in a girl band.

 

Do you want to sell it or wear it?

 

Oh, A J, I'm certainly not the lead singer! And mainly when it goes to costume jewellery

I first thought it was yellowed glue only on a moonglow lucite... but after close examination , it seems it is a coating (rather than a foil sheet).
A foil should need to be glued first on back of the rose, then the whole piece glued on the mount...
I think I'd reglue it as it is (I use Judikins diamond glaze, water based), in fear of further damage.

 

So no performance by 'Kyra and the Costume Joolies'?

 

I should have to practise hard!

 

Thank you kyratango!

Wear it bear. It is a "@Sarah" necklace my grandmother gave to me. That at sign is supposed to represent the copyright sign lol
