I have over 20 years in jewelry design and manufacturing. Over the years I have spent thousands of dollars on chemicals and hundreds of hours experimenting with aging methods for brass and copper. Chemicals will give you the most professional results but they can be hazardous and really take some experience to get it right.
This is my "best kept secret" and out of everything I've ever tried or experimented with, this is the most consistant and easiest method for antiquing costume jewelry. This method is fast, easy, durable, and will work on any metal. Antique your brass or your plated findings FAST-EASY & GORGEOUS!!!
ps...before you start make sure you piece is clean and free of dust, dirt or oil ;))
OK, ARE YOU READY? HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS....
1. COAT THE PIECE WITH MAGIC MARKER
2. USING A LINT FREE CLOTH DAMPENED WITH NAIL POLISH,
WIPE OF EXCESS MARKER TO EXPOSE HIGHLIGHTS
3. SIT BACK AND ENJOY YOUR HARD WORK :))))
Now All You Need Is Some BRASS :)
