Types of hardware

[evekitti]

Besides gold, palladium and ruthenium, are there any other sorts of hardware (not counting the bling bling croc ones) that are unusual? So far, I've seen a brushed palladium hw on ebay. Yummy!

Brushed gold, solid brass, and guilloche.

What's guilloche?

Guilloche is like a waffle weave pattern. It came in to use during the 70's and occasionally pops up on ebay.

I just bought an Evelyne,and it has a hardware that is a mix of silver and gold.
I just read in another thread that this is called permabrass.
I love it.

Interesting! Do you have any photos?

 

[duchess]

I will take some photos later,after the camera is charged.
I don't have a great camera for close ups but will do my best.
This is the closest one so far;I sent it to Maggiemoo to show her that you can use a scarf as a strap.
I hate the canvas strap on the Evelyne.

Here are a few photos to show the different hardware. The strap is from my Evelyne.

It can pop up once in a while, but I wouldn't hold my breath. If it's something you really want, SO it.
