Grace -
One way to even out the LOS patina on matching pieces is to build the
patina slowly with multiple quick dips (alternating each dip with
cool rinse water,) but every few dips dry the piece completely and
buff it with #0000 steel wool to knock down the finish. Then redip a
few times and repeat. You’ll notice that the silver evens out in the
grey/blue range. I do this all the time for earrings and get very
consistent results.
Good luck.
