last year the husband purchased a
couple pairs of earrings for me that i wear all the time. unfortunately, as silver often does, i noticed that they were starting to tarnish. without thinking about it, i grabbed a silver polishing cloth... and discovered that it removes brushed finishes. was i supposed to know not to do that? did
you know?
oops.
i guess i shouldn't have done that.
i mentioned this at
craft boston when i was speaking with
bree richey designs, and they shared some most useful information on how to fix my mistake, without sending it to a jeweler or buying fancy supplies.
scotch-brite.
so the last time i went to the grocery store, i picked some up - technically a brand called pure power.
i cut off a sliver and went to work. brush, brush, brush.
i tried taking before and after pictures, but wasn't able to capture the difference. however, i can definitely tell the difference in person. they aren't quite as beautiful as they were in their original state, but they are much improved.
