Rhodium

Alrighty... well, I just lowered the price of the items in my shop. I just found that the metal I had been using to make them is Rhodium (part of the platinum family) instead of Silver! *smacks* Although rhodium is rarer than silver I'm just not sure how to price it. I went ahead and got myself some silver compents and findings though so I can make some things in silver and sterling silver. Not sure which material I like more. Rhodium is darker and less shiney than the Silver and the Silver is much brighter and whiter than the Rhodium... all I can tell is a difference in color! O.o I'm going to look up the metal more and see if I can get more info about it. I know it's a common metal used in jewelry but not jewelry that I am particularly used to so I definitely need to know more about it. Oh well!

I'm working on some new pieces, should have some new pieces up in my Etsy and ArtFire shop later today :) but, mostly in my Etsy shop. :)

Of course, I'll be posting them up here first and everyone can see it before it goes up in the shops! :D

Also, if someone knows where I can get a real black orchid let me know! :D Black orchids won't look BLACK BLACK but more like a SUPER DARK DEEP PURPLE. I'm getting some flowers now and casting them in a beautiful polyresin, wish me luck! I already know how to dry out everything, even orchids, which is what I really want right now, but I can't find the right flowers. Let me know if you do find some. I don't mind tinting my resin to give the color a bit more *oomf*.

I am also taking commissions on bridal projects! If you are a bride and need custom jewelry made for your bridal party let me know and I'll see what I can do for you! :D

Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease!
