Silver supplier question
I have a question that the group may be able to answer.
I am currently pricing a commission for a fairly complex set of Shabbat candlesticks. It is still in the design by committee stage, but it involves hammered silver reflectors. Originally the reflectors were a series of curved plates 3"x10". In as much as maintaining reflectivity was important. I suggested using Argentium silver. With such a high silver price, the premium is a much smaller percentage of the cost and it seemed like an ideal application. Then the designed changed. The reflectors were now a few plates 6"x10". "No problem", I sez, "I can use standard 6" wide Argentium sheets". Now that the customers are all hyped up on Argentium, they decide they want the reflectors 8"x10". My question is: Does any know if someone is producing Argentium sheets in wider widths? Preferably here in the states. There are some creases in the reflectors where I can hide a seam, if I have to, but I would really rather not have to solder 2-8" joints in each panel. Paul K. Dickman |
