Jewelry Making

I'm keeping my bits and pieces separated and labeled.
Can I melt them back down on my stove at home for re-casting?
What can I do to guarantee to future customers that my re-cast metals are genuine?
Are there any recycling facilities I can send my bits to?
Any charities that make use of precious metal scraps?
Any other suggestions to do with my collected bits?

You can certainly remelt them - but please, not on your domestic stove ! You'll need a mini coal-fired furnace, meant for such 'smelting' of metal scrap.
But, upon recasting them, there is no way you can quantify, or guarantee their 'purity' to your customers - as this would require expensive computerised gadgetry which only large jewellery shops can afford.
However, as you would not be [hopefuly !] asking for any fancy 'designer prices' for your artifacts, your customers might give you the benefit of their doubt - and accept your word for it !
Hope this helps !
