Etching a silver pendant

Etching is done by removing the upper surface of a silver sheet by using acids. By covering certain parts of the silver sheet by a protective lacquer, you can create drawings in the silver.

 

We will take a look at the different ways of etching. You will learn how to saw forms out of a silver sheet, prepare it with lacquer to obtain the desired drawing and to finish the jewel after the acid did it's part of the job.
