Default Re: Permanent oxidized patina on 14K

Thanks Paulcdfoss, Heres another ring but the metal was I believe a commercial alloy that took 3 days to cook and didn't come out as rich. This ring was all fabricated with no wax. The homemade alloy takes a great color in just a couple hours. Commercial alloys can take days of boiling just to get a light brown and sometimes they really won't take hardly any color at all.
