Happy Holidays to all,

    I'm not sure what the proper term is to ask for some how-to advice
    on this so here's a rough description..... What is it called when
    you have sterling silver that's been engraved, stamped, etc. and has
    been blackened with ie; liver of sulfur, but the surface of the
    silver is white? As in fresh-outta-the-pickle-pot white. And how the
    heck is that done without losing the black areas? Really stumped on
    this one. 

    Seems that someone may have discussed this a year or so ago but I
    must not be using the right keywords while info-mining the archives
    to find it. I sure would be appreciative of any help anybody can
    offer on this. 

Thanks so much, Carol
