Liver of Sulfur...Wow!

Wow. I just tried liver of sulfur for the first time. Wow does it completely change the look of a piece. Here are some before and after shots:

BEFORE





AFTER




Me? I'm much happier with the after because I feel it draws more attention to the stone.

But what do you think? Are you a fan of antiquing your jewelry or more of a 'shiny' metal person?

  1. I think it is a matter of personal preference. Either way looks good! Have you tried rubbing off the patina in high spots with some steel wool #0000?

    1. Pearl -- I used steel wool #000 --so it did remove some of the patina off the darker spots. I have to tell you ---I stood in the hardware store staring at the steel wool wondering what size to get!! Next time I'll grab some #0000 instead of the #000.
