Thanks Etsy member Cabisuteria! This tutorial has helped me! Though I generally knew how to polish a piece after oxidizing it, sometimes it still had a powdery gray finish. Now I know for sure how to make it shine! Thanks! Juli ;)

I love the ring!! Are you going to make a tutorial for that???? :0)

Thank you all for your feedback!
Yes, I have a tutorial for that one coming up, check for it soon ;)

Question, If you wish to leave your jewelry without polishing or highs and lows, will there be a residue that will stain or come off by using your egg method? As you can tell I havent tried this yet but I just have this question.

Thank you very much for this valuable information:)

Blue susana, sorry that I've just seen your question. I would recommend to do at least some polishing with a tumbler as I made my boyfriend some cufflinks which I never cleaned or polished and after he used them he had marks on his shirt.

Nice ring, I'd love to have the tut but there is no file to download, or am I not seeing it...?

I had some luck cleaning oxidized silver with a pencil eraser. Just rub gently with the eraser and brush off the "eraser poo" that exfoliates...
