Hello--

    I have had a jewelry business for 9 years -- we are introducing a
    new collection of jewelry that is made with a different process than
    what we have known for 9 years.  We are putting 18k yellow gold
    detail onto sterling silver, and doing a sandblasted finish on the
    silver portion as well as rhodium-plating the silver portion.  We
    are having problems with the solder joints oxydizing after the
    jewelry is worn for 2-3 months--we were hoping that the plate was
    thick enough to cover up this issue, but apparently not (and we are
    not wanting to oxydize in the crevices to hide this problem).  We
    are just about to try some suggested techniques/ideas, but I would
    like to hear any suggestions and/or experience that any of you could
    share. Thanks so much--Elizabeth
