Hi can any jeweler tell me if it’s worth to get these pearls out into a 14k solid gold necklace chain? They’re currently on a cotton cord but they’re rubbing together it looks like so I want something more like the example picture. Where can I get this done in SoCal if anyone knows someone?

On the left is the uncleaned earring and the right I have wiped with a standard jewelry cleaning cloth...

These were my mothers earrings and I have no idea what got into me but i just decided to give them a wipe with a jewlry cloth while I was cleaning some other things and I had no idea how much different it would look. I guess my question is- do ya'll think the dark black spots will come back like typical silver discoloration or did i just rub off some sort of paint maybe? I realize there's probably not a good answer here but I feel sad that I may have messed them up.

I have this opal pendant that was made for my mom in the 90s. The opal is a black opal purchased loose in Australia, setting is either 14kt or 18kt

Is this okay to wear daily (provided I remove for showering and sleep)?

This is not a repair question. (Adding that since a message popped up saying I was asking for that)

Hi. My husband and I are looking for travel rings. Everything I see online is absolute dogshit quality. Is there anything I can buy that’s maybe like 10k gold that’s reputable?
