[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9720516, member: 2844"]Patina doesn't cause a brassy look. It takes extremely long for vermeil to show that extent of wear. Vermeil is a layer of at least 2.5 micron thick gold on silver. I am not sure Berber village silversmiths had the equipment (or the need) to make vermeil. I agree, it can, and I think that is the case here. It just needs to be polished. Regular polishing won't remove the patina, but it wil remove the tarnish.[/QUOTE]
