Re: Chatting In June

Hey guys,
Do you think I could tumble rhodium plating off some sterling chain (Abrasive media)

No idea Jen. Would it be removed unevenly, not in the crevices? But maybe that doesn’t matter?

Thunderstorm missed us. Boo. No rain for over a month now.

Re: Chatting In June

I'm thinking that since rhodium is very hard t probably depends on the abrasive.

Having tried to remove rhodium plating from a very heavy curb chain bracelet - unsuccessfully - my gut feeling is that it will end up patchy as Esme suggests.

Good evening!

We went to the nearby elementary school. The kids played and I walked a mile on the track. Whoot!

Re: Chatting In June

I agree with CG, it's a beotch to remove evenly even on a ring that I've torched

Re: Chatting In June

Why would you want to remove rhodium plating? What does rhodium plating do?

Re: Chatting In June

It won't tarnish. A bit like chrome on a bumper. But it's a cold looking silver colour, and makes real sterling look like plated cheap jewellery.

The very heavy curb link bracelet I tried to remove it from was given to me in Banff by a customer. He'd been given it as a gift and couldn't stand the look of it....'maybe you can use this'. I still have it somewhere.

Yes, it has a totally different look. I don’t like it much either.

Re: Chatting In June

it used to be only used much on white gold because people didn't like the natural color of some white alloys that had a yellowish tint and some don't like the gray look, they want bright white. Now most alloys don't have that yellowish tint, like X! white, and so many want palladium white which is nickel free and those don't get plated. I remember when it started becoming popular with plating silver thinking then it doesn't even look like silver

It was 75 here at school time, but the humidity has dropped. It's very nice outside right now.

I am now officially off Etsy Wholesale. I just decided to pull my linesheet items and I left the team.

Re: Chatting In June

I should be happy that I have tons of dust to share but it’s all either custom or made to order and I wish the orders were spread out more. A nice gentle rain of order would have been nice.

Heading to Orlando (an hour plus drive) for hubs doctor appointment. This is the hematologist/oncologist. Hope it’s not bad news.

Re: Chatting In June

Good Afternoon. Popping in.

Taking a bit of dust for my dead shop. I wish I would sell at least a little something. I need to boost my inventory back up...that would help.

Hot and humid here. I have my running group tonight, and I'm really dreading it. It's hard to breathe when it's this muggy.

Chrissy the only thing I'm selling is wedding bands- luckily people are jumping all over 22k bands- so nice profit margin, must be a trend someone "famous" started but I'm good with anything that's selling!

Good morning.
My sales are few and far between. Always have been,probably b4cause my efforts at marketing are sporadic at best.

Re: Chatting In June

Morning!

I know what you mean Kit- I have pretty much stopped marketing on social media so my sales have slowed. I wanted to slow down a bit so I'm good with that. It's keeping me busy enough to not be bored but with plenty of time to do other things- kayaking has begun!
