    Thanks a lot for this tutorial. I just bought some silver earrings, but I don't really like the super shiny look of polished silver on me, as I'm more of a copper, bronze, brass kind of guy, so giving them a quick patina with this method, made them much more to my liking :D Also went ahead and gave my grandmother's antique ring, that I have in a necklace a go, since I once polished it a bit too much, and removed a lot of the nice patina it had. So now they all look blackened with a colourful shine of purples and blues and golden hues. Thanks!

    I am thrilled with your experiment. You used a control! Many scientific experiments forget that. And you have taught me something new: who knew how much sulpher was in the white of the egg?! Very cool video-thank you!

    This really works! Tried it with egg whites, for 45 minutes. If you've a silver ring with a colourless stone, the tarnish really makes the gem stand out where otherwise it tends to be masked by the metal's shine. Thank you for the tip!

  • @PraytheRosaryEveryDay
    @PraytheRosaryEveryDay 7 лет назад +22

    Yes, but I prefer the look of the silver done with the yolk. The patina actually looks like a beautiful lustrous, vintage patina, while the one done with the white appears simply heavily tarnished and flatter. I guess it all depends on what type of tarnish you are looking for. :) Many thanks for the demonstration!

    • @OnlineJewelryAcademy
      @OnlineJewelryAcademy  7 лет назад +8

      Hi Stephen, The patina that was achieved in the allotted time period using egg yolks is just a lighter tarnish than the one achieved with the whites. There's more sulphur in the whites. So, you can simply leave your silver pieces in the fumigation chamber until you see the result you desire. Have fun.

      ​@@OnlineJewelryAcademy hey, I have question. So I tried your method at home with white egg, and it worked at first. But then I wash my ring with soap, and some black patina gone. Now it's looks aging with black spot. Do you think I missed something? I didn't scale the weight tho.. Just 1 egg yolk for 1 small ring.

    I tried this method and it worked pretty well! I noticed that the smooth surfaces were clearly darker than textured ones. I used the same cleaning solution to clean the parts I wanted to stay bright. Overall, it's a really accesible way to bring back some contrast to the silver jewelry that was cleaned with the cleaning solution, anyone can try it at home and it works for sure!

      The oxidation on a sterling silver piece is essentially permanent. It may rub off in places. Or, you might clean some areas with silver polish. But, because of the nature of the metal, the oxidation will always redevelop over the entire surface of the piece if it is left in the open air. 😀

      Hi Joshua, Yes, the oxidation from the egg fumigation process can be removed with silver polish. But, the easiest way to get rid of it is to lightly heat your piece with your torch and pickle it. Of course this would require you to republish your piece. But, it will thoroughly remove all of the oxidation.

    This was very helpful, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for this informative video. I have a few questions:
    Will the tarnish colour be different if I use an entire boiled egg (shell+white+yolk)?
    Will the tarnish wear off over time with regular use of the jewellery on your skin?
    Is this method bad for your skin in anyway? (Probably a dumb question but I read somewhere about household tarnish effects having a negative effect on your skin)
    How many whole eggs would you recommend if I were to try this with a larger quantity of items (a few chains and rings for example)?

    • @OnlineJewelryAcademy
      @OnlineJewelryAcademy  6 лет назад +2

      Hi Anonymous Blah, It really doesn't matter if you smash up an entire egg to darken your silver jewelry. As long as the egg whites are included, you should get a good result. Any patina will wear off over time if a piece of jewelry receives a lot of wear. But you don't need to worry about it being harmful to the skin. It wears off so slowly and in such small quantities that nothing bad should happen. And, it will probably only take a couple of eggs to get the job done.

    • @OnlineJewelryAcademy
      @OnlineJewelryAcademy  6 лет назад +2

      The color you see on the exhaust pipe is caused from the steel of the item reaching a particular temperature. There are chemical treatments that will produce a similar color on steel. Think of the blueing on guns. On silver it's difficult to maintain a blue color. You can achieve a blue color with Liver of Sulfur. But, it disappears when you coat the item. Or, it wears off quickly. Sorry.

    I'm now curious if it's the amount of egg (and sulphur) that increases its effect. Would have loved to see a test where you added yolk AND white. Maybe that would have been a greater effect than just the white because there is sulphur in both the white and the yolk?

      He measured out the same amount of yolk and white, and the sulfur concentration is higher in the white. But for practical purposes, you'd want to just use the whole egg. You're still going to get more sulfur by including the yolk and the white, since the yolk does contribute sulfur, even if it's less than the white alone.

    Does this not work with store bought hard broiled eggs?

      @@goodgremlinmedia2757 Great question! I’ve never tried using store bought hard boiled eggs. 🥚 But, I’m pretty sure that the process will still work with hard boiled eggs that you bought. Please post what your results are after you try it. Thanks for watching!😀

    can I do this with 925 sterling silver? will it ruin it?

    • @OnlineJewelryAcademy
      @OnlineJewelryAcademy  7 лет назад

      Hi Phoebe, All of the examples used in the video were made from sterling silver. The dark patina created by the egg parts is completely natural and is essentially tarnish. It can be removed with heat or with silver polish and a lot of elbow grease.

    Is it permanent???

    • @OnlineJewelryAcademy
      @OnlineJewelryAcademy  7 лет назад +1

      The oxidation isn't permanent. It can be removed by heating the item with your torch and pickling it.

      How can you "lock" this patina so it doesn't wear off from a ring? Thank you!

    How can I tell if someone did this to make the ring seem older?

    • @OnlineJewelryAcademy
      @OnlineJewelryAcademy  3 года назад

      There's no real way to determine if the oxidation on a silver piece is one that has developed over time or was applied. 😀

    professor, i have a silver ring with a little yellow gold line. will it affect the gold if i tarnish with egg?

    • @OnlineJewelryAcademy
      @OnlineJewelryAcademy  7 лет назад

      Hi Wendy, No. The gold line will not be harmed by tarnishing the ring. Have fun experimenting with the egg whites.

    It's my experience that patina from egg wipes right off as it doesnt penetrate into the silver enough.
