" JjJjtfN these days, when of making books there is no end," ^*^ and every description of work, whether professional or amateur, has a literature of its own, it is strange that scarcely anything should have been written on the fascinating arts of Chasing and Repousse Work. It is true that a few articles have appeared in various periodicals on the subject, but with scarcely an exception they treated only of Working on Wood, and the directions given were generally crude and imperfect. This is the more surprising when we consider how fashionable Repousse Work has become of late years, both here and in America; indeed, in the latter country, "Do you pound brass ? " is said to be a very common question. I have written the following pages in the hope that they might, in some measure, supply a want, and prove of service to my brother amateurs. It has been hinted to me that some of my chapters are rather "advanced;" in other words, that I have gone farther than amateurs are likely to follow me.

  • Testing Gold Platinum Silver.Qxp
    PROCEDURES FOR TESTING GOLD, PLATINUM AND SILVER To test for the karat value of gold, platinum and silver, you will need the following materials and tools: • Black acid testing stone that is washed thoroughly with water prior to each test. • Acids. • Gold testing needles with gold tips - used for comparison with test pieces. Testing for 10K, 12K, 14K Scratch the gold piece to be tested on the stone. Next to this position, scratch the appropriate needle (10, 12 or 14K). Place a drop of the appropriate acid on the stone where the gold was rubbed off. If the gold is the same karat or higher, the color of the scratch mark for the gold piece will appear the same as the mark from the needle. If that gold piece is a lower karat, the scratched deposit will become fainter and eventually disappear. Testing for 18K Scratch the test piece on the stone and apply 18K acid. Any gold that is less than 18K will disappear in less than 30 seconds. Gold that remains on the stone is 18K or higher. Testing for 20K and 24K Scratch the gold piece on the stone. Next, scratch any item of know karat (coin or needle) on the stone. Apply one drop of acid to area. The material that starts to disappear has the lower karat. Testing for Platinum Scratch the test item on the stone and apply one drop of acid to the application on the stone. If the material is platinum, it should keep its white, bright color. White Gold The same procedure for platinum can be used for 18K white gold.

  • The Platinum/Palladium Process
    9 The Platinum/Palladium Process OVERVIEW AND EXPECTATIONS In the majority of the classes and workshops that I’ve taught over the years, “the platinum/palladium process” is the answer that surfaces first when I ask the question, “What process do you want to learn the most?” In this chapter you will learn how, and, as in previous chapters, I begin with a little history. Then you will learn the chemistry and sequence of the various stages to a finished print. This chapter gives you alternatives to traditional platinum/palladium chemistry and provides you with a simple sensitizer “drop chart” that is based on the type of negative you are working with, rather than the print you would like to make. I also provide the beginnings of a trouble-shooting list to assist in hunting down problems that may be showing up in your work. Finally, you’ll get some brief alternative ideas for combining platinum/palladium with other techniques such as Van Dyke and gum bichromate. A LITTLE HISTORY Like most refined non-silver and alternative photographic processes, the art of platinum/palladium printing was developed in pieces over time by a number of dedicated artists and scientists. In 1830, Ferdinand Gehlen recorded the action and effects of light on platinum chloride, noting that UV light would alter the color of platinum salts and cause the ferric salts to precipitate out into a ferrous state. At around the same time, Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner (1780–1849) observed the decomposition of ferric oxalate on exposure to UV light and scientifically defined its sensitivity.

  • Advertising Platinum Jewelry
    FTC FACTS for Business Advertising Platinum Jewelry ftc.gov The Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC’s) Jewelry Guides describe how to accurately mark and advertise the platinum content of the jewelry you market or sell. Platinum jewelry can be alloyed with other metals: either precious platinum group metals (PGMs) — iridium, palladium, ruthenium, rhodium, and osmium — or non-precious base metals like copper and cobalt. In recent years, manufacturers have alloyed some platinum jewelry with a larger percentage of base metals. Recent revisions to the FTC’s Jewelry Guides address the marking of jewelry made of platinum and non-precious metal alloys and when disclosures are appropriate. When Disclosures Should Be Made Product descriptions should not be misleading, and they should disclose material information to jewelry buyers. If the platinum/base metal-alloyed item you are selling does not have the properties of products that are almost pure platinum or have a very high percentage of platinum, you should disclose that to prospective buyers. They may want to know about the value of the product as well as its durability, luster, density, scratch resistance, tarnish resistance, its ability to be resized or repaired, how well it retains precious metal over time, and whether it’s hypoallergenic. You may claim your product has these properties only if you have competent and reliable scientific evidence that your product — that has been alloyed with 15 to 50 percent non-precious or base metals — doesn’t differ in a material way from a product that is 85 percent or more pure platinum. Facts for Business Terms Used in Advertising • Jewelry that has 850 parts per thousand pure platinum — meaning that it is 85 percent pure • Any item that is less than 500 parts per platinum and 15 percent other metals — may be thousand pure platinum should not be marked referred to as “traditional platinum.” The other or described as platinum even if you modify the metals can include either PGMs or non-precious term by adding the piece’s platinum content in base metals.

  • A Case Study: Tiffany &
    F I R S T M E D I A Design Management Paper A CASE STUDY: TIFFANY & CO. PREPARED BY: TAN PEI LING DAPHNE TAN SHU MIN Introduction Tiffany & Co. (henceforth referred as “Tiffany”) is America’s premier purveyor of jewels and time- pieces, as well as luxury table, personal and household accessories. Founded in 1837 by Charles Lewis Tif- fany, Tiffany’s design philosophy has been based mainly on the central tenet that “good design is good busi- ness”1. All Tiffany’s designs are presented in the Tiffany Blue Box, recognized around the world as an icon of distinction and a symbol of the ultimate gift to celebrate life’s most joyous occasions. Today, the company’s 100 plus boutiques in 17 counties continue the company’s tradition of excellence2. This paper consists of several segments: (1) brief history of Tiffany; (2) organizational structure of the company; (3) marketing and product attributes; (4) target audience; (5) the unique selling proposition of its products; before concluding the paper. Brief History of Tiffany: 1837, Tiffany & Young is established Tiffany & Co. is a U.S. jewellery and silverware company founded by Charles Lewis Tiffany and Teddy Young in New York City in 1837 as a “stationery and fancy goods emporium.” The store initially sold a wide variety of stationery items, and operated as Tiffany, Young and Ellis in lower Manhattan. The name was shortened to Tiffany & Co in 1853 when Charles Tiffany took control, and the firm’s emphasis on jewel- lery was established. Tiffany & Co. has since opened stores in major cities all over the world.

  • Platinum, Silver- Platinum, and Palladium Prints
    Noble Metals for the Early Modern Era: Platinum, Silver- Platinum, and Palladium Prints Constance Mc Cabe Histories of photography usually emphasize the photogra- phers’ command of the camera and the resulting pictures while offering little insight into the extensive chemical and technical artistry performed in studios and darkrooms. Research into the materials and methods behind photo- graphic prints, however, can shed light on the aesthetic goals of the photographers and help to determine which properties are the result of artistic decisions and which might be the natural effects of aging. By studying the array of platinum, silver- platinum, and palladium prints in the Thomas Walther Collection, we are given an opportunity to appreciate how photographers in the early twentieth cen- tury manipulated materials and chemicals to achieve a quasi-modern aesthetic. The aesthetic benchmark for many photographers at the dawn of the twentieth century was the platinum print, extolled for its unparalleled artistic qualities and perma- nence. Alfred Stieglitz (1864–​­1946) and Clarence H. White (1871–​­1925), both highly influential photographers and lead- ers of Pictorialism, a movement championing photography as fine art, praised platinum as the ideal photographic medium for their exhibition prints. Their disciples contin- ued to test the medium for new and unusual effects, exploiting such curiosities as multiple exposures, tone reversal, and solarization, and exploring unconventional compositional elements and abstraction. Highly attuned to the technical craft of their work, they investigated myriad products and chemical modifications to achieve their artistic fig. 1 Alfred Stieglitz. From the Back Window at “291”.

They can be found in the transition metals on the periodic table of the elements. A close-up of this part of the table is shown in Figure 1. Palladium is currently the group metals as contact surfaces for electronic only metal of the group in widespread use in electrical contacts, although platinum was widely connectors. used in the past. Rhodium is only used in electrical contact applications requiring very high hardness and wear resistance. The other three metals in the group are used mainly in other industrial applications. Pure, electroplated platinum and palladium have a hardness of around 200 to 400 HV, although . Platinum they may also be applied by cladding. Both have a conductivity of around 16% IACS. Thus they are harder than gold, but slightly less conductive. At one time, their prices were . Palladium competitive with gold, and gold-flashed palladium coatings were even used as less expensive alternatives to gold coatings. However, both of these metals are much more expensive than gold . Rhodium (at least at the time of this writing). Due to its cost, gold-flashed palladium is now used mainly in applications which require greater hardness and wear resistance than hard gold alone.
