[Jewelry making - Article 00849] - [Orchid] Surface quality of omega chains

    I would like to ask those of you who offer sterling omega chains
    with your jewelry if you have had the same problems I have. I have
    been frustrated with the surface quality of the chains I have gotten
    in the past. There have been areas of uneven coloration and because
    they are electroplated with a layer of fine silver, they cannot be
    polished to remedy that. 

    I was frustrated with winding up with chains that I could offer for
    sale because they looked bad so I decided to change sources. I
    ordered from a different company on the recommendation of a fellow
    Orchidian. I order I just received contains chains that have a
    surface that, though it is supposed to be high shine, looks semi-mat
    under slight magnification. The surfaces appear to have friction-type
    abrasions on them. One of the chains has spots that are definitely
    lighter than the rest of the surface--even visible to the naked eye. 

    I don't know whether this is as good as it gets or whether I should
    send these back and ask for a refund. I am not thrilled with the way
    they look but don't know where else to order from for a better
    quality at a reasonable price. 

Thanks
