I had a fantastic day milling around stopping and chatting and watching makers 'in action'. I felt welcomed by everyone even when they knew I wasn't buying but there to see what I can learn. Some were busy busy so I asked brief questions and moved on. I had a lovely chat with a lady from the enamelling guild and she showed me the various books I could find in the library.

One of the makers had beautiful silver earrings oxidised and dipped in gold. I've seen this on other jewellery before ... I wanted to ask more as it's a lovely technique but customers were loitering and the jeweller was busy soldering chain so I didn't want to interrupt too much esp as I wasn't buying. Can anyone explain to me this technique or at least what it is called? Is this called vermeil ?

Thanks all
