Fernandina Island: The Youngest Island of the Galapagos. The Galapagos Islands were formed by volcanic activity. The oldest islands, EspaÃ±ola and San Cristobal, are found on the Eastern part of the archipelago. Fernandina Island, one of the westernmost islands, is also one of the newest: It is still being formed by the islandâs own active volcano.
Silver-plating charges depend on the size of a piece and its base metal. For example, replating a creamer and sugar-bowl set is $40 for the pair. To replate a 5-by-10-inch undecorated tray costs $22 to $25. Replating teapots can cost $30 to $40. Tea trays are $100 and up.
This set of four retails for around $59.00. The cost to silver plate these four cups correctly, is $341.00. However, properly cared for they should give you 20 years of use. If you throw the cheap one away every two years and buy new one, assuming the cost does not increase over the years you will spend $590.00.
