    I am trying to get that look that a lot of indian jewelry has and
    some big designers like JAR utilize in their designs. basically the
    top parts of the gold are high polished white gold and the crevices
    and underneath areas of a diamond are black. below are two links of
    examples. i know there is the antique paint but im guessing this
    isnt the most perminent solution. is this done using black rhodium or
    maybe oxidizing gold? my pieces are made of gold and not silver.
