I dropped a 14k charm on grinding stone. 10k, 14k, 18k acid mixed and went on it. Item now has a dark stain. Any way to remove?

Have you thought about getting your battery charger and junker 14kt scrap and just electroplate over it? It would still be an honest 14kt piece...

I've never tried this, but every time I've considered getting into plating it seemed a whole lot more complicated and expensive than that. I have done a little electrolysis of iron, but don't foresee aluminum and baking soda dissolving any gold into solution. I'm all ears for your technique!
