Dear Brata & Jung,
I went back to my old e-mail from February to re-fresh my memory how we want the stamped jewelry finished:
The copper earring sample with stamped design has been
- stamped
- oxidized with a sharpie
- lightly sanded or brushed
- and then treated with wax, using a cotton cloth for rubbing in the wax
- the wax will dry relatively fast and build a protective layer on the metal
- the final step is light rubbing with a clean cotton cloth to get rid of any excess wax and to give it a little bit of shine
We have had good experiences with the wax (preventing tarnishing) and it may be the best treatment for oxidized items, because it does not smear the black color from the Sharpie all over the earrings.
- we would like the ear wire in silver plated metal or stainless steel (please make the same shape and size as in the sample that we sent)
Let me know if you can make the wires or if we need to send them.
Sincerely,
Peter
