Have you ever done it? If so, what method did you use? Is it worthwhile to recapture gold from gold-plated jewelry or do you only end up with a few pennies worth? Say I was to recover 10K plated gold from a charm (chain) bracelet (no charms). Would I recover more or less then $1?

The odds are you will spend much more to recover the tiny amount of gold on that necklace than the value of what you recover.
The plating on gold plated items is very thin and the chemicals used to recover it are very expensive. In order to turn a profit one must run large quantities of recovery materials. The process is very dangerous, even life threatening, so I do not reccommend you attempt this type of gold recovery. I've done it only to be disappointed with my results.
