What possibilities do we have with engraving? Only text with a fixed font?

Sorry to be smart-alecky, but 925 means 925/1000, so its not pure (the 75/1000 should be copper).

Is that an "Argentium Sterling silver alloy ", which wont get tamished like old silverware?

925 Silver is just the normal silver for silver cutlery.

Instructions:
Just use like normal Chromargan key caps, but don't put them into the dish washer. After use, wash them manually as soon as possible and make sure they are dry when you put them away for storage!

I recommend to put them into plastic bags, and to store them in darkness, to make sure they don't get tarnished.

I also recommend to use this to get them un-tarnished:

Pure Silver would probably loose the texture even faster than Cherry-ABS ..

I like this idea, the caps actually have some in-built value !
