Many times on this blog and in my jewelry videos<\/a> I have mentioned using\u00a0Liver of Sulfur<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>\"\"\u00a0patinas, so today I thought I would show you how it’s done.<\/p>\n

\"friday<\/a><\/p>\n

When I first heard the phrase\u00a0“Liver of Sulfur” it sounded scary and the process sounded intimidating, but it really is neither.<\/p>\n

These earring show the difference a patina & polish can make. Some folks prefer a bright shiny look, it’s a matter of preference<\/p>\n

Whatever \u00a0you do, don’t ignore my warning in the video to pretest your beads to see how they’ll react the with patina solution. If you look carefully at the pink & silver earrings above, you’ll notice that the LOS actually removed some of the coating off my pearls. Boo, hiss.<\/p>\n

That being said, those were rather cheap beads and it’s the first time I’ve ever had any beads react badly to liver of sulfur.<\/p>\n

You can use your choice of metal polish to shine up the high points, but I think\u00a0Pro-Polish Pads<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>are especially easy and convenient, as they have the polishing compound built right into the pads.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the video and happy creating!<\/p>\n
