 Why do you use silver and copper in your mokume?
There are three reasons I use silver and copper:
 Color - Silver is the whitest metal and copper is the reddest.
 Etchability - Silver and copper can both be acid etched, allowing us to make color patterns very dimensional, with the copper and silver color lines at lower levels than the golds.
 Color change - Silver and especially copper can change color when they are exposed to moisture, salt and other materials, sometimes even when exposed to the slight differences in the skin chemistry between individuals. With silver and copper, the rings actually can subtly change color when worn by a different person or when you encounter something new in your environment. |
