Another question..

I have looked everywhere on the web for how to create a Matt white finish on silver, I know cookson gold do the compound, but how does one go about doing some areas Matt and others polished? I have a wire pendant with grains, wanting the grains completely white against pushed silver wire.

I also understand to get completely Matt white the copper has to be removed from the surface leaving pure silver, so heat, pickle, heat pickle.

Are there any other methods? I know of the wire brush but the leaves a satin gloss not Matt white.

Thanks maz
