I didn't realize RLMs bronze was different from say the bronze Italia line.  Is the white bronze much heavier than SS?


Bronze that's solid bronze is different from plated bronze. I haven't seen RLM's bronze pieces in person, but they look like they are a heavier gauge (thicker) than most. It's left in it's natural state but the silver color is plated "white" on the yellow bronze (unless stated silver and bronze).

 

Bronze Italia is all plated to be gold, silver or rose gold. 

 

 

 

 

They advertised Bronzo Italiano as being colored all the way through and showed cross-section of it to demonstrate.  It supposed to have a sealer on it to keep from tarnishing.  Some people have reported the sealer wearing off and a darkening of the metal.  Time will tell. 


@Kachina624 If you notice, not much Bronzo on the Q anymore, right? There used to be days of it non-stop. It wasn't sealed, it was plated & if not done correctly, it will pit and peel.
