Silver Plating 101
Hi there-
Thanks for all the information on plating!
I'm a complete dummy about all of this, so I was hoping someone could explain a few things for me.
I'm looking into ordering some jewelry parts-rather small (27 mm circles) made from (Tombac) an 85% copper base. I need to make them silver colored-It doesn't need to be sterling, or even plated-Just silver colored.
The company selling them doesn't offer them in silver, so I need to do it myself somehow. do you have any suggestions? I'm open to anything!
Thank you!
