Here is a tip for when you are working in gold from @quittingquincejewellery - “To separate gold sawdust from silver, I use tissue paper to catch the gold dust. I then make little packets of gold filing and melt it easily into nuggets for further use.” Thank you so much for sharing! This is brilliant, all that dust adds up quick! 💰I will definitely be trying this method! 🙌#metalsmith #goldsmith #jewelrytipoftheday #metalsmithsociety
