With the fine shading that you are doing on these buckles and conchos / slides are you using the hard sterling or hardening after to aid in ware? Your designs and shading just get better and better. Fred

thanks fred and OMA
no special treatment has been done to the silver. i think the shading is cut deep enough to last.
