Could someone explain to me what mitis metal is and if it can be made into jewlery?

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Mitis+metal\n\nMitis metal: the malleable iron produced by mitis casting.\n\nI'm sure you could make it into jewlery, if you didn't mind your sweat making it rust and leaving stains all over your skin and clothing.

It wouldn't suprise me if you get a load of snotty guffaws in response to this question, but you have a point. Personally I prefer silver to gold, although the metal with a lesser value, for me it has a class that in some items gold cannot carry off. It's all down to your own opinion as to what appeals to you isn't it?

There is no specific Jewish bracelet. You may have just seen someone with a custom made one, but I have no recollection of anything to do with it, sorry!

Tiaras are made of silver. Make a silver bar, then use the bar again on the furnace. Make sure ou have the mould with ou. It will give you the option to make a tiara.

yellow gold and white gold are the same in the allergy department.  \nstart looking at platinum, but beware that platinum dulls very quickly and i'm not sure if jewelers can get it to shine again.\n\ngosh....i feel for you.  ask jewelers if there are any treatments for the gold that would put a barrier between your skin and the metal...maybe some kind of coating??

A mixture of two metals is called an "alloy."\n\nThere is *no* chemical reaction (the gold atoms are not reacting with the silver atoms).  It's just a melted mixture.\n\nWhite gold is an alloy of gold with other white metals, like silver, nickel, or palladium (source below).

From less than $100 to thousand of dollars depending upon the metal that it is made of, whether it has jewels and if it was custom molded

Gemstone quality crystals can be made into jewellery and so are vauable. Others are useful for their ores (hematite Fe2O3 iron ore, malachite copper ore etc.) I also heard somehing about using crystals for resonance but I'm not sure what that means lol hope this helps\n\nP.S. Quartz ie. silicon used for glass

Really happens? Gold is quite inert but usually gold jewlery comes mixed with small amounts of other metals such as copper, nickel and silver to make it harder, and maybe is one of this metal that is reacting with the skin, or maybe the make up on the face.

Here are some questions that will help you:\n\nFirstly, are they natural or synthetic?  \nSome synthetics can look amazingly similar to heat-treated naturals.  \n\nIf they are synthetic, what kind of synthetics are they? Flame-fusion? Flux-grown? Flame-fusion synthetics can be had for a few cents a piece.  Some flux-grown synthetics cost over a $100/ct.\n\nIf they are natural, you'll need to judge their quality:\n\nColor - Is the color saturated? Is the tone balanced? Do they show undesirable brown modifiers? \n\nClarity - Are there inclusions? How distracting are they? Where are they located? Do they improve or adversely effect the aesthetics of the stones?  Do they affect durability? \n \nCut - Are the stones faceted or cabachon-cut? Are they transparent, translucent or opaque?  What shapes are they?\nAre they cut well? ie balanced & symmetrical, good length-width ratio, good polish and finish.  There is a premium for matched pairs and lots.\n\nCarat - 13 rubies totalling 50 carats makes each piece about 3.85cts.  Hmmm...that's considered large for rubies.  \nFine stones above 3 carats are considered rare.  Commercial & utility quality stones can be hundreds of carats in size and still not be very valuable.\n\nOrigin - Where were they mined? There is a premium for Burmese stones, especially from Mogok.\n\n------------------------------------------ \n\nBased on the information you have provided, it is not possible to accurately say what they are worth.  You could have a jeweller look at them, but it's probably better to send them to a professional colored stone appraiser.  \n\nAs a very rough estimate, here are some price ranges for faceted rubies in the 3ct range (in Bangkok): [Commercial/Good/Fine]\nRuby [25-300/300-1000/1000-6000]\nPink Sapphire (low saturation rubies) [50+/100-250/250-1500]\n\nBTW, 99% of all rubies available in the market are heat-treated.  A premium is put on stones that are not heated but only if they are of fine quality material.  All other things equal, washed out stones that have not been heat treated are never worth more than heated material with good color.

You might be referring to Alpaca silver, which is an alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc. It looks like silver but it is not, and because of this it is very inexpensive.  Low-end jewelery in Peru is made of this kind of "silver", high end jewelery in Peru will use a very high grade of silver usually .925 or .950.

Hey,\nI know a little about zinc. But I thought these two sites might help you\n\nhttp://ergosphere.blogspot.com/2005/06/zinc-miracle-metal.html\n\nhttp://www.ctds.info/zinc1.html\n\nHave fun

because it depends on the purity(karat)of the gold solution used  for the plating of any metal object.\n\ngold ions from the gold object and the gold solution will be transferred to the object to be plated\n\nif you want to plate the object to be 16K then you use an 16K soulution with an object that contains 16k purity

this is because gold has lustre or shinning surface when polished. it can also be hammered to shape maleable since it is soft

It looks like an opal to me.  Check the hardness, if you can inscribe it with a steel knife it is softer than 6-7on the Moh's hardness scale, and probably an opal. if the blue mineral scatches glass it is harder than 5.
