How to Plating Silver Jewelry Different Colors?

admin — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 05:27:23 +0000

Hi.

I am a jeweler , i can plate my silver jewelry to black and gold but some my customers request red,blue,green colored silver jewelry. Not enamel coating. Things must be look still shiny like metal surface. So I don’t know anyway to do it. Is there anyway for it. Perhaps color alloys if available etc. Thanks.

Hi,

If you can use aluminum instead of silver, then you can anodize the aluminum and infuses a pigmented dye into the anodized coating and attain virtually any color with a metallic look to it. If you have to stay with silver, then you’ll have to find and apply some glossy transparent organic coating (i.e., paint) with the color you require.

How do you wash silver jewelry so it looks clean and like new again?

admin — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 12:47:34 +0000

It’s not really its like the silver looking jewelry that you can buy anywhere for like 5 dollars. The silver is getting dark and it looks like rust, but I’m not sure if it is. How do you clean it so it looks like new again?

The absolute best product I have seen to clean silver jewelry are these wipes by Connoisseurs. They come in a red tub-like thing. Here is a link to what the tub looks like: http://www.lacywest.com/wipes.jpg
I know they are sold at Kay Jewelers but I think the might also be at WalMart and other such places. These wipes remove ALL the tarnish and make your jewelry look GREAT, brand new! They have even worked on quarters that I am saving for the state quarter collection.
From what I have always been told, you should not use any type of liquid cleaner on silver jewelry. Only dry cloths.

Raincloud Silver Jewelry

admin — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 03:36:24 +0000

This short movie features many of my new and exciting jewelry designs and pieces. All of the pieces are hand mined, smelted, and crafted from the Santo Domingo, New Mexico, Raincloud Silver Mine near Santa Fe, NM by our tribe. It is the last fully operational “Green” mine of its kind in the USA. Many of the techniques which we use in the making of this jewelry have been lost to others for centuries.

How is silver jewelry packed by Amazon and other online companies?

admin — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 17:54:53 +0000

I am planning to purchase silver jewelry online and send it directly to my girlfriend. Does anyone know how the jewelry is packaged? Is it in a nice pouch? Box? Just wrapped in a bubble wrap? I would appreciate any specific answer I can get. Thanks!

Depends on the seller through Amazon.
It’s usually true UPS, so it’s in a plastic envelope. Sometimes they’ll send it in a cardboard box. You can ask for it to be gift wrapped though.

From other companies, it depends if it’s a high end jewlery company (like Tiffany & Co.) or a low quality one.

You’d be better off receiving the package, and wrapping it yourself to make sure it looks perfect for her. =]

If that’s not an option, just speak to the seller or e-mail the company before they ship it off.

Is there a way to clean silver jewelry with household products?

admin — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 05:59:30 +0000

I live overseas and can’t find silver/jewelry cleaner…is there something around the house you can use instead? Thanks.

I use toothpaste (we use Crest at home) and a soft toothbrush, rince throughly. Sparkling clean silver…works on gold too.

Why does my silver jewelry turn black sometime after I use the silver cleaner?

admin — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 07:07:28 +0000

The jewelry does say it’s silver and I got a new jar (the dipping kind) of cleaner.
How do I keep my silver jewelry clean? It looks great coming out of the cleaner, but after a while it looks worst then it did in the first place before I even wear it. any ideas?

hey…i know its a big problem
the reason is that due to the presence of sulphur particles in air the silverware "tarnishes"
it menas a blackish layer is formed, resulting in a dullish look ,,,,
u can do 2 things
1. either keep it in clean surroundings(maybe the place where u have kept the container has more sulphur in it )
2. the best way to clean it is -applt toothpaste to it and then rub it with the help of medium hardness brush(toothbrush).and the container will shine again …and probably for a longer time!!!
take care
