Adding bronze-like color patina to silver

[St33L]

Hi all,

I'm wondering how to add dark bronze-like patina to sterling silver.

As you may already know, sterling silver typically has a dark gray or black patina. If so, how can that be done?

The Custom & Handmade forum is not the correct place to ask for knifemaking, modding, pimping tips. I'll get this to a more suitable place though.

Thanks.

Here is an example of a sterling silver metal with a bronze color.

Perhaps it's just natural patina depending on the balance metal(s) used (?).

OK it looks like I found my own answer. Liver of sulfur in a lukewarm / cool solution will create a brown / reddish tone to silver.

Actually it's gold wash over silver that over time creates that patina... in case anyone comes across this post.
