My advise is never cut corners. Use the best materials. Your labor is the expensive part.
Brass is very hard to do a barrel band with compared to gold or silver.
Rust bluing and browning will effect gold and silver about equally. Card with a .003thousands steel rotary brush from Brownell’s or wet 4-0 steel wool. When done use a pink erasure to clean the gold and silver.
PS run the brush slowly like 1200rpm. Rust lightly. Over rusting will tend to imbed particles of rust into the gold more.
