my 2nd tutorial :)
if you've missed my wire-wrapping tut, check it : [link]

this one works well with sterling silver, silver plated and copper wire too :nod:
if you have any questions about it, don't hesitate but ask me (in a comment please, so as others would also see it and learn from it)
hope you'll like it!

Is it possible that the tarnish is caused by sulphur emissions evaporating off the egg? I'm interested in the scientific explanation for this reaction.

why do you need to oxidize a jewelry?

I don't need to, but i like to oxidized jewelry not only beause i prefer dark silver, but because it shows the details of wire wrapping :)

My biggest challenge would be not eating the egg as soon as I peel it. Then again I do love hard boiled eggs.

Cool little tip, I may have to try something like this with some of my chain maille pieces to get some interesting color variations.

I tried this, it does work rather well! I used copper, well, ok, one of my girlfriend made the item and wanted to age it so I took the opportunity to try this out. I was smart though, I boiled extra eggs! XD

It did work wonderfully however, Thank you so much for having posted this!
