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. What do you want to know next time?

Patina - Liver of Sulfur

In this video I will teach how to make liver of sulfur and cover with a patina of copper jewelry.
1 part baking soda and 1 part of sulfur mix in a ceramic crucible. Heated on the fire until brown. All the while thoroughly. If you see a fire - blow it.
Important! Work must necessarily a respirator, goggles and gloves.
When the powder is cooled down - fill it with water and store in a bottle with a tight stopper, without air.
Pour part of the solution to the water and soak there jewelry. When it goes dark, remove the excess with a sponge patina and  polishing paste.
Rinse brooch in dish detergent and cover with varnish to metal. :)
