Hi. I'm new to the forum and am very happy to have found such a wealth of information, you guys are amazing.
I've searched the forum and found little information about jewelry with enamel paint on it, but what I have found leads me to believe that I should not waste time trying to remove it and instead just go into the dilute nitric along with the jewlery. It is gold filled, so no need to inquart. Is this correct? I assumed that it needed to be removed and tried a few methods that I found on jewelry and crafts forums before finding this one, but it has proven to be very difficult on some of the pieces. If I dissolve the base metals in nitric, will the enamel also dissolve and if not, will it filter out with no ill effect?
Thanks for any suggestions and advice.
Justin
