You're welcome. So I haven't found it tarnish yet since I've been making, I think my oldest pieces are approx 2 years old. But I often seal things with a clear acrylic spray paint - you can spray it over the stones and then use nail varnish remover and a cotton bud to bring the shine back to the stones!

Hey, thank you so much ❤️ I have a doubt. When I solder, there remain black pigments (burnt like) remnants. Any advice on how to avoid that, and create spotless solderings?

@anyotherkingdom Жыл бұрын

Ooh, so a way around this is to use liquid flux and flux-free solder. The black pieces are the remainder of the flux inside the solder....you could also try using a paste of baking powder and water and gently scrub it over the piece with a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove the black BUT I'm not sure how successful that will be. I hope this helps you :)

I finally found one but it’s made out of only tin and copper, it doesn’t have silver on it. As an expert do you know if this makes any difference?
