shining + polishing your brass jewelry

while a lot of HEIR babes love how the brass components of their jewelry patina (change color over time with wear), others want to keep their brass jewelry BRIGHT + SHINY  and we want to facilitate that... so we created this step-by-step guide for cleaning and polishing your brass jewelry  or anything you own that is brass, copper, stainless steel, chrome, pewter, or bronze

getting started

you will need your darkened brass jewelry, a bottle of brasso (on amazon for $6 but also available at most pharmacies and grocery store)s, and an old rag that you don't mind getting gross. a few pretty plants around doesn't hurt... hehe

pour a dime sized amount of brasso on one corner of your rag and squeeze it together to spread it out a little on the cloth

shine 

begin rubbing the brasso portion of the rag along your brass piece  /  you can already see it shining up half of the neck cuff 

after applying brasso, grab a clean corner of the rag and thoroughly rub off the remaining brasso - the more you rub the shinier it will get! 

results

notice the difference between left side (unpolished) and the right side (polished)

totally shined + polished

here's how everything looks after being shined up
