<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 583827, member: 5833"]My eye sees letters from both India & China. I wouldn't touch the ivory - fair chance the pigments are water soluble. As far as patina, I believe if you own it & are going to wear it, you should shine it up to whatever degree pleases you. Tarnished silver can leave a mark on your clothes, so some reason for minimizing it there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
