A very important tip for repairing vintage jewelry

When I first started reselling jewelry I would come across some very nice designer pieces and be disappointed when seeing big blobs of yellow glue around some stones.  What I have learned is that there are certain types of glue to use for jewelry.  Some glues will turn yellow.  And, of course, some people do not know that.  So they use any type of glue and end up ruining a piece.

One type of glue to NOT use is super glue.  It will yellow.

Here is a good article on RockTumbler.com a handmade jewelry site:

Hope this helps!
