    Okay, so I'm understanding that in order to activate the tarnish
    resistance of the Argentium I'll need to heat treat the finished
    product. I'm curious as to how this will work for those of us who
    love to combine silver wire with freshwater pearls in the form of
    chain, knitting or wire wrapping? Won't the heat of the precipitation
    hardening damage the pearls?
