It wasn't. We solved it in exactly the way you suggest. I had thought of
plating originally - but did and do want solid silver (alloy) hinges for
"authenticity".
We went through that previously, thanks for the thought and that is
exactly what we will do here (for now). The post lead to some very
helpful people -- like yourself -- that suggested plating as the only
alternative to custom built hinges.
Brass works fine BTW. A very nice lady who makes beautiful jewel boxes
suggested Brusso hinges -- because of their high quality. SWMBO is
providing the used fixer. :-) I will provide the container, battery and
nail. :-) There are a few technical issues -- but I was given some
instruction.
And as far as talking to a jeweler -- again right on... If anyone needs
help on similar issues, rec.crafts.jewelry has truly expert denizens and
they are very helpful. Many are professional jewelers and metal workers
and crafters.
I did not mean to restart the thread though. That much is true. It got
beat to death and resolved as much as it was possible -- unless someone
_knows_ where to obtain "reasonable cost" silver hinges -_off the shelf_.
Note emphasis. :-)
They are for the following style.

Why, just this morning I Googled another NG for some info about
motorcycle wheel alignment. After reading a few hits, I realized that
I was actually looking for FORK alignment. Adjusted my search, and
Presto! I got the info, adjusted the alignment on my forks, put the
tools away (for a rare change), and wrote this message in 15 minutes.
Gotta love the Internet.

Dude.
We should get together and hang. We could figure it all out. No,
really.
But we should be fishing for smallmouth when we hang.
We should also be drinking.
Not only should we be drinking, but we should be drinking Guinness -
which would neutralize the geographical and political boundary thing.
Of course, a snifter of Tullamore Dew would go well with the Guinness.
And we should be in a tent, next to a lake fecund with the
aforementioned smallmouths.
And we should not have computers with us - for they are as a foulness
in the mouth of true speaking.
And we should have fair weather - for foul weather will encourage the
over consumption of Guinness and Tullamore, to the point where nothing
matters anymore, which would keep us from our fishing.
Then again, I say pray for weather, fair or foul - for either will
take us where we need to go.

Sorry, couldn't reply immediately. I was watching the Gomer Inquiry --
yah know, Where they string up the Gomers who can't fake records
properly. Can't even fake an audit trail properly. Complete F******g
amateurs. We hire _idiots_ these days. The type of guys that would know
howta stain cherry... _ooopppssss_...
Anyway... I am _busy_ with my encoder ring. Gotta get a message through
to the black suit guys who are tailing you. Their picture quality is
terrible... they're probably eating too much BSE coated beef....
My blue wet suit is at the cleaners. Did you need to borrow one??? Can't
help. I do have white hard hat. Ho corks balls on it though. It goes
pretty good with the strap on sandals though -- kinda stylish.
Anyway as for this even's show (and tell on everyone but myself show...)
I am making up a loop of rope with a special knot. The neighbours are
thinking of sending a delegation to Ottawa. I am drawing on my shipboard
experience to make this rope loop with a special knot. It is a modest
example -- but I am sure the the lynch^H^H^H^H special party will go
quite well.
Then we can vote in the honest, sensible, moderate guys like.. like...
like...
Anyway -- Just _google_ Gomery and Claude Boulay. (Claude Boulay -- the
embarrassed man with the red face that mislaid a few tens of millions
and won't tell where they are... Not to be confused with Corriveau --
the very content fellow who mislaid a few tens of millions of dollars
and we all know where they are, and Broulay who squirreled away a few
tens of millions of dollars -- and knows exactly where they went.)
There, so much for your notion that only one Canadian has ever committed
super-double-icky-thought-crime.
And now -- back on topic -- with the mention of _google_.
Don't get us off topic again or the MIBs have been instructed to
retrieve the secret magic encoder/decoder ring and raise your taxes.

Wow, Dvorak may regain my respect if he keep writing sane things like that.
Just the other day I overheard a tech writer asking someone if you could
freeze milk. The answer was taken without question. Google coughed up an
answer in less time then it took to phrase the question, and it was a
much more complete answer to boot. Sometimes it is a lack of adjusting

Larry:
I read JD's columns every month. One of the few interesting things in PC
mag -- which has dumbed down considerably since the beginning.... (Been
in the business of high tech a long time.) (Interestingly Dr. Dobbs went
the same route but has now returned to its roots lately. The last issue
was interesting -- for propeller heads anyway.)
On google: It has its uses. Since people started buying in earnest on
the net if has become less so. If you are looking to buy a specialty
item, Google can be very frustrating.
Started a thread in rec.crafts.jewelry about silver hinges. For a while
it was like one of the electricity threads here. People insisted that
there were thousands of links to where to buy them and I was just stupid
-- didn't know how to use google... (They may have been right about some
things -- but not about google :-) ) In the end someone did take up my
challenge and admitted that they had the same results. There were
thousands of "interceptor" sites that responded to the query --
attempting to persuade me to "click through" so they could get a
commission and a click through ad fee. ...But no silver hinges. Silver
coloured in steel, nickel whatever - but no silver. Many (most?) of the
links were simply fraudulent. In the end -- no silver hinges. I did talk
to other people who make jewel boxes -- I will plate my own from now on
-- like they do -- for the same reason -- no commercial silver hinges.
Despite thousands of links...
On another issue. Paper books are generally "edited and refereed to
death". Anybody can put anything -- on a web page. DAMHIKT. There is no
agency for truth and justice on the Internet -- not one of any effect
anyway. Obvious points, but often forgotten in the quest for knowledge.
You can always Check out Rick Mercer and his "Talking to Americans"
segment of the old "22 minutes" TV show. We are the "Unknown Country"
here -- despite being America's largest trading partner.

I think the 'dumbing down' of America AND Canada has another agenda as
well.
I made sure I stated that the same is true for Canada as well as the US
because, heaven forbid, the brown-shirt flame artists would spin it into
a US vs THEM war.
The 'dumbing down' of North America (isn't that better?) benefits the
governments by being able to pull off any stunt they desire, by wrapping
it up in lingo nobody understands. No point in telling the little people
what the real motives are, but I assure you, none of it is to benefit
any of us.
We are the little serfs who toil and hand over our dues willingly to the
Lords And Masters who know what's best for us. If we were smart, we
would realize that the Boogie Man really doesn't live under our beds,
but we're not, so we look up to the Lords And Masters to protect us from
all that is evil. If they happen to be a little low on evil-doers, I
guess they'll whip up a few in the lab, eh? The smart Lords and Masters
even have us believe that we have some control as to who The Lords and
Masters are!! Instead, the Lords and Masters are playing tag, having

Robatoy:
You are in deep doodoo and I do mean deep. You have revealed the secret
national dress code -- to a _foreigner_. It is fortunate that you did
not reveal the left-handed-upside-down secret handshake (palm greased
with $1M bills). That would have been super-double-icky-thought-crime
and got you twenty years in the slammer and a week teaching ghost
walking at the local base.
Now straighten up and fly right or your colonel-ship in the local
militia and exploration club will be canceled forth-with.

The guy can write. His take on Hunter Thompson is the best I've read.
The last paragraph in that one is deadly.

Assuming this isn't just a problem created for conversation, maybe you
didn't approach the problem the right way. What about taking some hinges of
your choice to a jeweller to have them silver coated? If you do go that
route, I'd advise your talking to a jeweller first to find out what type of
metal is most easily silver coated.
