Thanks!

Interesting question. I would expect in normal casting procedures that the amount of copper that burns off wouldn't significantly change the desired outcome, certainly not enough to change the way the metal feels when working it. Of course, refiners separate metals, but it's a different process.

it's only good for hiding powder of COKE & I don't like the idea. Perhaps, It's good for Bulky type Ring Jewelers & Big Nosed People.

Some people I noticed use fine silver to make simple rings and other things such as pendants, bracelets. What you are doing is amazing. I have dabbled in it myself. Can't wait to learn more. Thanks for sharing.

aswome!... you need to source some paua shell (pronounced pawa) from nz, it is a ''glassy type rainbow coloured shell'' native to New Zealand (from the sea almost like an oyster) it's commonly used used in expensive hand made guitars as the dots and or patterns near the tuning pegs, not only would it look fantastic! they would be worth bucketloads!!! these shells represent many parts of nz's native history, the value of them would be amazing, and represent massive cultral signifcance :)
