Finding the Best Way to Etch Sterling Silver

Have you ever wanted to put intricate details on jewellery? Or wondered how it's done? I have! In particular, I've wanted to be able to put Chinese characters on my designs.
One way of putting beautiful designs directly onto silver is by etching the silver with ferric nitrate. In this video, I've experimented with different ways of putting the design on to get the cleanest etched pattern.
Experiment 1 - using a simple B&W laser printer and a sheet of plain white paper
Experiment 2 - using a B&W laser printer and Overhead Project Film (OHP)
Experiment 3 - just painting directly onto silver with Black Out Varnish
Experiment 4 - using a simple B&W laser printer and a sheet of Blue Press N Peel transfer film (the kind used to transfer PCB designs to copper)
Take a look at the video to see the beautiful effects and details created from etching a piece of silver and adding a simple Liver of Sulfur patina. The uses of this technique are endless! Subscribe to be notified of my next video and see how I used etching in my latest ring design!
