| Thanks for all of the suggestions! I have some of my own jewelry that is tarnished and I love the look (especially on vintage stuff). However, I make some of the gift pieces well in advance of the occasion for which they will be given, and I don't want them to look old and dull. I will look into picking up some of the alternative metal findings, and I will try some of your other suggestions for the pieces that I already have.
