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
