Have you ever wondered how the finish on Gothic and Celtic jewellery and models is achieved?

• to create an antique finish: First use Ageing Ammonium Hydrosulphide Chemical our code (C6263) or Metal Ageing Chemical CC60 (C6264). When you have blackened the piece use Bergeon Wheel to take off the Silver Ageing Ammonium Hydrosulphide Chemical, the areas in which the mop doesn't reach will remain partly blackened hence giving an aged effect.
• Using the fine and very fine grades it gives the effect of a frosted car windscreen.
• In a time when retro/antique jewellery is coming back into fashion, this is a quick and easy way to obtain this effect in an economical way.
