    Lye and what most North Americans call bleach are not the same
    thing. Although I'm not sure which is nastier to humans as either is
    not nice. (I've never used either on gold.) 

    Lye is sodium hydroxide (Or perhapse potassium carbonate?) And
    Chlorine Bleach is Sodium Hypochlonite 

    And I think both are unkind to soft parts, like fingers. 

Cheers,
