For less than $10, you can get a bottle of what they call Silver/Black, made by Griffith. It's a sulfur-based liquid, and, after several coatings, will give a nice chemical patina. (This is the same stuff as used by most of the fakers) 
You can buy it from most jewelry supply stores; I bought the bottle I have (I wanted to play with it and figure out just what the "chemical patina" looked like) from Alpha Supply in Bremerton, Washington (phone: 800-ALPHA11) and I think it cost me around $6 before shipping.
