Default Use a Jeweller's Cloth to Make Your Finds Shine!!

I picked up a couple of Jeweller's Cloths from the local jeweller the other day and I'm extremely impressed with the difference they make when putting the final polish on my finds. After you've done your basic cleaning and they're as clean as you can get them, use a jeweller's cloth and they will shine. Just give them a rub with the cloth for a minute and they'll shine right up, all of the residual tarnish is removed.

BEFORE - 9K, SCRAP .925 AND 14K






AFTER 1 MINUTE WITH THE JEWELLER'S CLOTH






I'VE CLEANED ABOUT A DOZEN OF MY FINDS WITH THE CLOTH ON THE RIGHT - - FILTHY






Cheers,

BDA

No Mate, now you have to figure out how to post a picture of your new toy so we can all OOOOH! and AAAAH! over it. First post the pic, then find Treasure.

Cheers Chick,

BDA

They're terri cloth impregnated with jewellers rouge and an adhesive to clean and polish precious metal. You can't wash them but you get a lot of use out of a single cloth, the filthy cloth on the right is not even half used yet. They don't cost much (I get mine for free from a jeweller) and they last a long time.

Cheers,

BDA
