What do you apply it with to jewelry?

I use a soft cloth to apply the wax and then a flat artist's paintbrush to remove excess from crevasses. I repeatedly wipe wax from the brush and brush the item until all excess wax is removed.

Depending upon the intricacy of the detail, a soft toothbrush or a fine acrylic paint brush.Use sparingly, a little go a long way. It can be buffed out with a fine brush also.

HI Lori - I don't use the wax on jewelry. I apply it to unfinished wood. I just stick my hand in an old cotton sock, pick up some wax on my fore finger, apply and rub it in with the rest of the sock. Don't know if that would work with jewelry. Good luck. Peg

I don't use it much on jewelry per se, but the wire-wound grips of some of my medieval swords are fine braid, so I would imagine it is similar. I use a Q-Tip for these, and I remove excess with either an old toothbrush, a nylon gun-cleaning brush, or a stiff-bristle artist's #5(I think!) paintbrush. Excess is less of a problem if it's removed while still soft.

You can use a soft lint free cloth like a chamois. I use it to clean and polish my copper sinks. For that application, an old wash cloth will do.

I apply wax with my finger, allow it to dry to a smoky film and then wipe with a soft cloth. A soft brush is good for getting into the hard to reach spots. I mostly use this wax on pocket knives and hunting knives but have utilized the same method on jewelry. This stuff is great for anything you want to preserve. It can be used to preserve artwork as well.

I have used it for some of my antique and vintage jewelry and it has come out nice it really is a good cleaner for so many things But if I have jewelry that is very important to me you can take it to wherever you bought it and they may clean it for free and if it is a intricate piece I think a jeweler is the best way to go. . I do keep several tubes and spray bottles around it seems to clean everything

This product is color embedded in wax, so you squeeze out a bit and rub it on the area you want to, gild. Then you can apply wax over it, but I would take care to not have the covering wax dissolve the rub and buff gilding.

Yes, I have used it on all my jewelry. It actually does a good job because the foam gets into the crevices that I wouldn't be able to reach otherwise. And, of course, it rinses off easily, so the jewelry is clean of any polish residue.

i do not know about jewelry but doubt it would do any good. i applied coat after coat, according to instructions, to antique silver plated flatware and could see no improvement whatsoever. in my humble opinion a total waste of a few dollars.

It will work well on all soft metals including nickel, using normal polishing media. Steel will require a more aggressive media ie: walnut shell with emery or some like compound. Silver, white bronze, and pewter should use white jeweler's rouge.

Yep, works fine for jewelry. Use 2cups of water, add 1tea spoon of ammonia and 2 table spoos of dish soap and clean away.....!

Cristin, that is exactly what I used it for! I dipped the rim into orange juice and then into the glitter and it was perfect. Doesn't leave any gold on your lips! Good luck!

I have been using it for many years; but only on silver-sterling or silverplate with a sponge (one usually comes with). On stones use a good liquid that comes in a bottle-use the brush that comes with it to brush gently on the stones so as not to damage them. Rinse both jewelry and silver with warm water no soap so as not to rub off the polish. I love the results!

Yes, but don't put anything in that has pearls or stones that are just glued in. Tried to clean an old Sarah Coventry bracelet that I had, the gold part came out nicely but the stones and pearls fell out. Does a very good job on good jewelry.

Use an Oxi dish washing detergent. It does not leave a residue on jewelry. Some stones like diamond it is safe to use a small amount of ammonia. The ammonia will remove oils and stuck yuck. Soft stones do not use ammonia!

Yes. I use it on sterling, white gold and platinum. I mostly use it on a watch that is silver with inlaid opal, since you cannot use most liquid or paste jewelry cleaner on opal or pearls.

I do! Yes! I absolutely soak my gold/platinum & diamond even my fancy colored diamond jewelry overnight. I have even forgotten about them & left in them in their for a week & they shine up like a brand new penny! Do not leave silver in it though, it causes the solution & the silver to change color & dull.

I do not use glue. I use a top coat then I place the gem on then apply another top coat. You could use nail glue then apply top coat.

i have only used it on jewelry and yes more than one coat works but do not let it sit in the solution. I was impressed with the stuff

For me it works with any nail polish. Its just a cover up (gel) that hardens and thats what stays shiny. Its also what the nail salons use.

I have used this with great success for years on jewelry. I even use it on my good gold. Use a small soft toothbrush to clean the crevices. It will take some time. Make sure you rinse the piece clean. If this doesn't clean as you wish you should use a chemical tarnish liquid first then the foam. Your pieces will be beautifully clean , shining and resistant to tarnish for longer. This is a great polish and the quickest one I have ever used. Good luck.
