That jewelry was gold filled. Bronze (tin & copper) base metal, coated with a karat gold. The tin separated / burned off, producing tin oxide powder .. As that happen the copper was pushed out, like toothpaste from a gold tube (coating). Seen it many times while refining gold. I usually just keep it going until the white powder stops coming out. Melt what's left into shot, then chemically refine it to extract the gold.

Have played a bit same as you are. Pouring into mold can turn out very nice, but key is to heat the mold before pouring. Cold mold sucks the heat out of gold so fast that it hardens before you can finish the pour. I found that putting a propane torch on mold to heat it up then leave it on till you finish pour works best for me. But I'm no expert, so your results may differ. 🤣 ✌️😎

Graphite will oxidize over time in your kiln and will crack, so be careful you can loose your gold when the Graphite mold cracks in the kiln. The graphite mold is good for a few smelts like your doing, I used this method before.

The slip of the tongue on prills happens. Your assays are incomplete. Dore buttons is correct. Dore , not gold. The moment you say your assaying , the buttons would be cornets after parting. I will assume I missed the videos of parting and annealing. When melting gold or dore , you wouldn't use Flux anyway. Borax is a thinner and not Flux, plumbers use Flux, Flux to smelters and assayers is a constitute of many ingredients , ie : everything but your litharge in your assay charge. Magnesium Dioxide is a Flux, there are a couple of dual use ingredients , salt is both a thinner and oxidizer. You will have to redo all your assays to get the real numbers once you have a cup or cornet to weight. The reason we don't put our graphite molds in the furnace is thermal shock. Good luck and keep working it but , it's time to learn to do it correctly.
