How to Polish Brass Jewelry
One of the disadvantages of brass jewelry is that it tarnishes rather quickly. The good news is there are easy ways to polish it and restore its shiny, gold-like appearance. One method involves the use of products that you most likely have in your own home. Here’s what you need to do.
Prepare vinegar, salt, flour, warm water, and a small bowl.
Put 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ cup of vinegar into the bowl. Mix properly until the salt completely dissolves into the vinegar.
Add the flour into the mixture and mix well until you produce a paste-like substance.
Rub you brass jewelry with this paste and make sure to cover all surfaces.
Leave the item for 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
Make sure to dry the brass jewelry with clean cloth as quickly as possible to prevent moisture from triggering tarnishing.
You may choose to buff up the brass jewelry with clean cloth but be careful not to apply too much force. Don’t forget that it’s a jewelry item you are polishing, not a piece of furniture. If you think polishing your jewelry this way is too risky, make do with warm water rinsing.
Apart from jewelry, brass is used for a wide range of industrial and creative applications, including construction, filtration systems, musical instruments, and machine design. This metal is so versatile you can even incorporate it in your own projects. Should you need brass supplies, make sure to purchase them from reputable brass suppliers.
