I have a lovely brooch and two unmarked necklaces that I believe are antique or vintage. The brooch is unsigned, and the necklaces are similar in style. What are their potential values, and how can I determine if they are made of gold or gold-filled? Additionally, how can I remove any rust from the jewelry?

I have received a painting that hung in my grandmother’s house for many years. I believe it is by Julius Lange. The painting looks in good condition, but the ornate gold frame has some chips in the lower corner. The back appears to be recovered, and there is no information or certificate of authenticity on the back. What would you like to learn about the painting, and what is its estimated value?
