Veronica,

    Thank you so much for your compliments on my work you are very kind
    to write. My potential customer wants me to make the pieces in Gold,
    and as I recall she did say 18kt so I had better run with that. But I
    do get your point and it is a very good one. 14kts would be adequate
    for the a non tarnishing Gold effect but unfortunately I cant use it.
    I hadn't been aware of it, but Teresa Masters saved my beacon by
    telling me that 14kt Gold is not recognised in Europe as Gold..
    interesting isn't it? so its looking like 18kts is the only way to go
    for me because 24 is much too soft. I have used Patina to blacken
    silver before just out of curiosity and the effect although
    interesting wasn't for me, I love shine and lustre. Good idea though.
    Yeah I'm tired of Silver, its been a constant embarrassment over the
    years. 

    Thanks for getting in touch Veronica, you have made some very good
    points and been so very kind and supportive. Best wishes to you in
    all that you do. 

Tina
