    hello! (Sorry been off with ill husband) the pendant was fine silver, but for the sterling pieces I anneal/pickle/rinse and rub with brass brush 7 times (same as if I was prepping for reticulation). As soon as the silver stops darkening upon heating, you should be ready to go. Have done some more, will get some pics up later!

    Thank you Lydia. Just wanted to make sure before I commit gold to metal!

    another couple of pieces testing the water. I'm finding a torch rather than a hot plate much easier. I'm frustrated at the mo, tag team illness at home has been keeping me out of the studio, and my dremel blew up on Friday - noooooooooo!
