Aluminum does not react well with products to create patinas.
To create a contrast I currently use
Sharpie Marker
Industrial Sharpie Marker
or
Oil Based Sharpie Marker
to darken the recessed areas of the metal stamped design.
Let the marker dry.
Use an alcohol wipe to take the marker off the upper area.
It is best to fold the wipe like a pillow to prevent taking the marker off the recessed areas.
***The Oil Based Sharpie needs to be removed very quickly
because it sets so quickly.
I do a small section at a time.
I like to add the darkening after the ring or cuff has been curved.
Beautiful!!!
