Polishing

     polishing a metal jewelry design can mean a highly-polished surface to one designer or a finish that is matte and darkened with patina to another. The design itself may help make that decision for you.A surface with deep textures may beg for patina in the recesses and a bright polish on the high spots and a smooth surface may want a matte finish with a lustrous glow.Regardless of the type of finish you want to achieve,working with finishing media from the coarsest to the finest will bring you the desired results--well,that and a few tools and techniques.
