<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 1654595, member: 5398"]I polished the opal using Gus Tuason's instructions for cerium oxide, and do see more fire on top. I was surprised how well it worked and it didn't take long to smooth it out. Thank you, Gus!!. I still haven't taken it to a jeweler to test the gold, but decided to order a gold testing kit since I have other vintage jewelry that I've been wanting to test. Based on what others have said here, I'm assuming it will test as 14k, but it if doesn't I'll add another post (the kit should arrive in a few days).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]234677[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]234678[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
