Anybody know how to make balanced beautiful patina?
Some of silver orders are discolored dirty already. how can i do?
By "make balanced beautiful patina" I take it you mean to make the patina on an existing, old, piece of silver be more balanced, or regular, or just "better" looking.
The answer is no, not really. Techniques used to clean silver pretty much take the patina off. Techniques and products used to put patina on, in other words to make something look older than it is, do exist, but are noticeable to someone who is used to looking at patina.
Patina is the result of time and environment. Manipulating it is probably possible, but in the end why do it?
