Service Description

Creating a patina on jewelry involves intentionally oxidizing the metal to achieve a weathered or aged appearance. This process can add character and depth to your jewelry pieces. Here's a general guide on how to create a patina on jewelry: Step 1 – Clean your jewelry. Step 2 – Neutralize the Cleaning Solution. Step 3 – Prepare Your Liver of Sulfur (LOS) Solution. Step 4 – Patina Your Jewelry with LOS. Step 5 – Neutralize Your Jewelry to Halt the Patina Process. Step 6 – Burnish with Steel Wool to Bring Back the Bright Metal Highlights. Apply the Patina: Dip a foam brush, sponge, or cotton swab into the patina solution and apply it evenly to the jewelry piece. You can experiment with different application methods for varied effects. Oxidize the Metal: Allow the patina to develop by exposing the jewelry to air. The oxidation process may take a few minutes to several hours, depending on the desired effect. Rinse and Neutralize: Rinse the jewelry thoroughly with water to stop the oxidation process. If using liver of sulfur, you can also immerse the piece in a baking soda solution to neutralize any remaining chemicals. Remember that patinas can vary based on the metal type, the concentration of the patina solution, and the duration of exposure. It's a good idea to experiment on a small test piece before applying the patina to your final jewelry piece. No class experience necessary. Class is approximately 5 hours long The minimum 3 and maximum class size is 6. If the minimum is not met, the class might be rescheduled.
