Polishing Jewelry for Beginners 

Thank you for sharing, I am just starting out at the age of 60 and i'm loving it.

I would consider myself a moderate silversmith, I've made alot of jewelry but always had a difficult time finishing my jewelry, I have so many pieces that construction wise are great but they don't have that polished look. This was very informative -thank you so much!

Great ! I love all of your videos, they are so so helpful Can you maybe make a video showing all the different steps and tools needed after a piece has been casted?

What works for me is Zam! for anything silver with soft stones and Fabuluster for gold/silver for everything else using my flex-shaft. Also when using the mops, try running the flex shaft in reverse (if you are holding the hand piece in your right hand) so that the compound flings away from your face and not all over you. And... you must wear a mask, lol. Great video thanks for sharing.

You are amazing. Thank you so much for these wonderful tips!

Beautiful work!!!❤❤❤Thank you for the video🤗🙏🏻

Omg yes! Thanks for making this!

So glad to see that your subscribers are multiplying by the day!!!! Congrats to you🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤😊 Thanks again for such a great video!

Thank you for this video! Very helpful!!! Can you please make a video on stone setting? This is my biggest challenge! Thanks! You are amazing ❤

Thank you so much this video helped me out a lot! Can you do a video of like how much you would charge for your products and shipping ect

Try silicone mold putty. The other is a sticky mess.

Thaks. ❤😊

Excellent tutorial! You’re a GREAT teacher. Thank you! I have a question. When I do pendants with bezel set stones I always worry to get water under my stones and so I tend to not use compounds after I’ve set, the stones but of course dents are made setting the stones.🤦🏻‍♀️I do use some pumice wheels which helps to take out dents but not as great for shine as compounds.

Thank you for this!! I was looking for polishing videos yesterday so your timing is perfect. 2 quick question - how exactly are you washing pieces between compounds? And also do you do anything differently for your more textured pieces (like your wax carvings)?

Thank you for uploading this video. Really learned a lot from this video. And I have a question, what solution should we clean/wash with? Can I use a normal soap solution or a shampoo?

Great video! I just started pouring silver. I pour bars and other things. I'm learning about polishing. Let's say I use 3 different polishes using a Dremel. Should I wipe off the silver piece after using each polish? Is that important?

Thanks for the info. You look a little tired Adriana. Working full time, raising a family, keeping a house ship shape and running a business, not to mention a RU-vid channel must be taxing. I cut and polish Australian opal and I have only just started setting my opals in custom jewellery. For polishing I have a seperate felt wheel on the small flat lap that I coat with gumption. Then when that takes the course stuff out I switch to the same tin oxide I use for the polishing the opal. My lap has a recirculating water delivery system that keeps the work clean and cool and it slowly dilutes the compound as you go giving a finer and finer polish the more you work on the piece. With the more detailed or intricate areas I use the same system with tapered felt wheel on my dremel. Always get a mirror finish. Really enjoying your channel and seeing your pretty face. If only you were all Aussies you would be perfect lol. Take care of your beautiful family Adriana and be safe.

What are you using to get in tight creases to polish, like around prongs?

hi! which soldering kit do you use for your wax rings?

Can I ask you what thickness you have on the silver that you used for your earrings? I want to order silver sheet but it's hard to know what thickness to use. This looks like a good middleground

When or why would you need to use a tumbler or something like an ultrasonic cleaner? Are they necessary?

Hello, Mitra, don't be tired, you have a very nice and clean workshop, my dear, I am very beautiful and the works you make are excellent, my dear, which country and city are you, how old are you, and where did you learn all these things? Will you teach me, I want to open a workshop. But I don't have the capital to learn and work sometimes. What do you have to offer me to make jewelry with gold metal? Thank you, my dear, I love it.

But what do I search to find the suedey wheels?! 😩

please protect your hands from these metals
