Patina on copper jewelry by liver of sulfur

  I really love this moment - to cover my jewelry by patina and polishing. Shadows become more distinct and pendant looks impressive. I use the liver of sulfur solution. It creates a secure and stable patina. Polishing pads and Maas Polish Cream keep the shine of my jewelry for tlong time. To buy unique jewelry and tutorials - UrsulaJewelry.etsy.com


   And about my magic cream for polishing! Keep your hands - be like me.
   Last week I received many questions about the polishing. And again I am sharing my techniques. I use polishing pads and Maas Metal Polish cream for all metals. I bought 2 ounces of it 3 years ago on eBay. My tube is almost over, so I bought a new one. I like to use it because it is very easy, and I can polish by hands without engraver. And most importantly, it keeps the shine of metal for years. I just rub a cream metal residues and wash off with water and soap. If you have more questions - ask in the comments.
