" 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.

A. REDDEN ABSTRACT Diamond-drilling at the Beecher No. 3-Black Diamond pegmatite, Ouster County, S. Dak., has provided information that modifies and supplements findings reported previously (Redden, 1959). Two zones not exposed at the surface were found during the drilling: a quartz-albite-perthite-muscovite-pegmatite zone and a quartz-albite-perthite-spodumene pegmatite zone. Previous concepts of the structure near the surface require no significant change, but the new data make possible a greatly improved interpretation of the structure at depth. The most notable change is the recognition of a narrow constriction in the pegmatite at a depth of 60 to 100 feet.

  • 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.
