Has anyone used this to touch up old costume jewellery with a Russian gold plate finish (deep warm matte gold)? Many thanks. :-)

My daughter used it on a glazed ceramic cup and it worked great, it hasn't washed off, very much intact.

I have not used this on silver. Only platinum and white gold. Some reviews have said that it was harsh on their silver. I would use caution and read their reviews first before attempting to use it.

No!!! I used it on my other jewelry after learning it doesn't work for sterling jewelry it leaves this very dull finish on it. Looks bad. :-(

No, I tried to touch up - not an even finish. I had the same concerns about the fake jewels, and real ones. So I tried it first on something I did not really care about - great results! So, I plunged right in and did all of my pieces. Not one had a problem with the "jewels" and the pieces looked great! Glad that you asked, as it reminds me that I have a few more pieces that I want to do.

Never tried clean costume jewelry. Works wonderful on fine jewelry. Probably will tarnish the costume jewelry.

I have had good luck with removing tarnish from silver. I believe its chemically as the blue magic does not scratch or feel gritty.

I'm not really sure, but it's worth a try. If it doesn't work, you may want to try silver polish.

I can't imagine what rusts that you'd use this to shine. It removes TARNISH. If some rust had just rubbed off onto something else through proximity, I'd THINK it would remove the non-original rust, but this is just speculation on my part.

Nancy yes, I was skeptical myself as to what kind of jewelry it would clean. I have a one -of -a -kind silver and gold pendent I had made for me by silver smith friend of mine. To my amazement it has never looked newer and cleaner since I used this solution. It also works on metal and aluminum jeweler as well. I hope this helps.

Yes! I used to polish my real Japanese silver vase decorated with all kind of stones and shells! I also use to polish my silver ring with jade! Hope my information help :))

I would be very gentle if you use it on the painted sections of the blade or plated parts of the sword. This has stripped the brass color off a few plated pieces I've used it on in the past. As far as stainless steel, yes you can use it and it does an amazing job. Be forewarned though, if the stainless you are polishing has a brushed finish to it it will change that somewhat and give more of a satin finish.

I have been using this product for years and do apply it to silver jewelry. It works well. It is a paste, so you will need to rinse it off carefully when you are done to remove all of the residue which dries to a light powder if not completely rinsed. I highly recommend it!

I've used it on my pewter and now it looks great. No abrasives are in it, but make sure you were gloves.

This product is safe for using on dinner ware. I bought one and am very happy with it. It depends on the stain or how worn out your gold ware is but it gives pretty good result on most of the small scratches. I used this product on my gold rings and bracelets and worked fine. I also gold plated my silver ring and came out like an expensive gold ring(you might need to coat and polish a few times to get a good result) ! As soon as I finish my bottle I'm sure I'll order more.

If It is gold you do not need this, also I am sure this is not recommended for gold. It is great for silver. I clean my wifes gold by letting it soak in hot water with dish detergent. then scrub with an old tooth brush. the gold and diamonds sparkle after that.

It works well. I have brought up the shine on 1920s-1930s Rogers & Bros flatware that I even found in a root cellar and simichrome worked magic. I find it less abrasive than MAAS, yet more effective at removing unwanted patina/dirt/darkness. Or, in some cases like bronze or silver where the patina enhances the piece in spots, the less abrasive nature of the polish allows for strategic polishing. Example: a vintage Mexican silver bracelet with beautifully worked silver, the darker parts that enhance the piece are blended into the bright fully polished silver of the parts that look best when shined. Tip for flatware: a dry "medium" to "hard" toothbrush (bristled) a little seed bead sized amount of simichrome placed directly on the prongs of fork or pattern. Brush it in where discolored or dark then use a dry white cloth or durable (Viva, for me) paper towel to wipe off & buff.
