I so discouraged I may just quit.
It must be something other than humidity causing the discoloration.
Abilene is definitely _not_ humid. Whatever the cause, I'm so relieved! After this scare, I will not use silver plating again and I'll most likely sell my collection on ebay. I figure, even if I only get a little bit for them, it's better than tossing them in the trash. Of course.. I'm going to keep my jump rings and pins for experimenting and practice. -m. www.jewelrybychaddock.com |

I have a question about a pair of sterling hoop earrings I bought......my earlobes start burning in 30 seconds, yet I can wear really cheap ear wires. Heather, the really cheap ear wires (I personally love 'em) are surgical steel and commonly labeled as hypo-allergenic.

Because a lot of the jewellery I make is silver, I bought these. Think I will look for the ones with surgical steel wires. I was just telling my husband today that where you live has a lot of stuff in the air from the volcanoes I assume. Does it have a bad effect on silver or gold? Heather in Toronto, Ontario. |

Because a lot of the jewellery I make is I usually wear the same pair of platinum diamond studs since DH gave them to me. When I wear some of my own, which I usually do, I wear 2 pairs of earrings in the same hole. silver, I bought these. Think I will look for the ones with surgical steel wires. I was just telling my husband today that where you live has a lot of stuff in the air from the volcanoes I assume. Does it have a bad effect on silver or gold? It does on copper, and on your health. I haven't really noticed bad effects on silver or gold, but it may explain why the lobster claw clasps I thought were silver color are now a light gold color. Yes, the bad stuff is from Kilauea Volcano that is currently erupting in 2 places. One for about 25 years, the other (summit crater) one only since earlier this year.

Every once in a while someone will get me silver plate. I save all my
oddballs, silver plate, stuff that I'm given, etc, and even rocks, that is not up to my standards and send it to a teacher I know out in the Bush. The kids get to see different things, and it's only $10 for the flat rate box (even if I fill it with 50 lbs of nails, as some contractors do). Tina "chaddock" wrote in message ...
