Hi all
Just started a spot of jewellery making for myself and friends. I've noticed from visiting a couple of shops and various online stores that the majority of findings are silver plated whereas Jewellerymaker makes a point of stating that theirs are silver all through (except when they are not, of course i.e. the gold plated stuff).
I really don't like the idea of silver plated particularly if I am giving gifts. Is JM.com really the only place to get real silver? Is it that unusual or would hobbyists normally use plated?
