    And this is why I only buy from American Gem Trade Association
    members. They are obligated to disclose treatments. Personally I
    would go back to the dealer and tell them you want your money back
    (even if it was a few years ago). If you don't do that then you
    absolutely have to reveal that they are dyed to any purchasers. You
    could leave the price the same but they probably aren't really worth
    that much if the color is due to a dye being used. I can't help you
    with the issue of removing the dye, but then it may be that they have
    no color at all if you can actually do it. If you can't bring
    yourself to go back to the dealer with the problem, I'd chalk it up
    to experience, remove the gold and put it on something else and give
    them to kids as presents.
