    Even when it isn't as gross as you describe, I make a point of
    cleaning incoming jewelry before I work on it. A used chain will
    really stink up the place if you're trying to solder a break in it
    and it's got organic crud in the interstices, and the same thing
    with my rings -- there are so many crevices where stuff can hide. 

    Daniel already addressed the idea of working for free on work
    purchased elsewhere, and stated it very well. You have to be fair to
    yourself as well as to your clientele.
