Yep, I work with patinas pretty often. I'll use brine or sometimes something called liver of sulfur to add a protective coating. Then I'll buff off the patina on the interior and any any highlights and put on a light coat of acrylic to protect it from rubbing off. I like patinas because they are matte and therefore do not show smudges, and as time goes on, create a nice weathered look the ring.
I have seen that plot. Unfortunately, I'm not yet sufficiently well funded to use gold as the principle metal in my alloy. Wish I could, I'd like to see how it mitigates the greening of the skin at a, say, 20/80 gold/copper ratio. One day I'll try it out.
Thanks for the info
Better to make a patina. It depends dramatically on the metal you use what process is best - for applying a protective coat, my favorite is an oil based paint marker. Makes it easy to protect the areas you don't want affected.
If you're working with bronze or copper, "liver of sulphur" makes a great patina. You'll not need much, and if you're still dipping your toes into the matter, getting a gel-form is best for longevity. The hue of the patina will be different depending on how long it sits in the solution - you could even submerge different portions gradually over an hour or so to get a differential patina across it.
There are also more interesting ones such as the dye-oxides for creating a patina with a specific hue, but I don't have any experience with those.
