Thanks everyone. I am so glad that you are enjoying the posts. I can't wait to get back to Ohio and get back into the posts. Just one more week to go and we will get all caught up. :)

Jen,

Yes, the same is pretty much true. Now if the piece is sitting without any oils in your skin rubbing on it and such, it will last much longer. The patina is just a surface treatment. Most metalsmiths I know have not yet come up with a way to keep the rainbow effect for the lifetime of the piece, particularly if it is something that is worn. I am still researching and will be sure to pass it along if I find anything.

Is the same true for a torch patina on copper? Will it eventually lose the rainbow effect if it is sealed right away? Is there any way to get that effect on copper and maintain it for the lifetime of the piece?

What a GREAT and informative article! Even though I've been making jewelry for several years, I've just recently purchased a disc cutter and dapping set. I had no choice but to get the economy set and am happy with it, but will definitely upgrade as soon as the opportunity presents itself. The hammer information was great too! Thanks for sharing!!!
