    Howdy Folks, 	I am NOT a metalsmith but ,as a hobby faceter, I enjoy
    reading all jewelry related info. 	So pardon me if the following is
    well known but I was wondering if would be possible (desirable?) to
    selectively mask/protect a portion of the metal's surface each time it
    was pickled thereby creating a surface with both sterling AND depleted
    silver (in some interesting patterm/design). Would the silver
    'islands/areas' still reticulate in proximity to the sterling areas?
    Any on-line examples of what the results look like? How about
    selective plating or kumbeu before the pickling/heating cycles? Carl
