    Aimee. I do a lot a casting of fine silver with no problems, and have
    enameled on them.. The important things to remember are that it takes
    longer to melt fine silver than does sterling (fine has a higher
    melting point), and you need to keep the flame of the torch on the
    silver until t he very moment of casting, as fine silver freezes
    quickly. My castings have come out just fine--no problems at all.
