Just take it into a jeweler, preferably one that actually does repairs, show it to them. They'll tell you if they can help you.

Probably will cost more to fix than to buy new, though. Asking is free, though.

well you can, if you know what the base metal is.

I can gold plate, but it's for plating silver. i wouldn't want to tell you to try it if you have some other base metal. a jeweler will be able to do it though.

i have no idea- i don't know what it looks like, but i THINK they can dip it- i'd guess it's around $20
