<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 450184, member: 649&quot;]Thanks, hollyblue. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I do understand that the proportions of copper/zinc does make for a variation in pinchbeck colors but I guess I&#039;m still a bit confused... I thought pinchbeck generally <i>wasn&#039;t</i> plated or gilded and therefore wouldn&#039;t show a color change where it was over-polished/worn.</p><p>On the other hand, a gold-plated item with a thin layer of gold over another metal (ie: copper or silver) <i>would </i>show the base metal where the gold-plating was over-polished/worn.</p><p>Do I have the right idea?</p><p>Sorry about going round and round so much on this piece, LOL.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
