Jewelry Tip/ Chocolate Copper Patina

[@yvonnemairose6100]

Coffee?!!! OMG who knew? Well....you 😁 Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge.

[@4girlsjewelry]

You are very welcome 🙏

[@steellj1956]

Thank you so much!❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰

[@karenmurphy7066]

😊 Thank you Tanya! Very helpful patina video. Coffee grounds added for chocolate patina ... wow! I've heard it is not recommended to put pieces with pearls in liver of Sulfur solutions. Should we paint those pieces to patina them? Any other guidelines in regard to softer stones or beads? Thank you for sharing, so well, all that you do. 😊

[@4girlsjewelry]

You are very, very welcome!!! I personally never had any problems with pearls or any other stones.. and I use patina now for almost 5 years… but maybe it’s depends on quality of the stones… u can try to put just one bead and see what happens:) hope it helps ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@cherstillo2322]

Will be adding coffee next time. Thanks for the tip.

[@4girlsjewelry]

You are very welcome 🙏

[@joannfletcher8864]

Thankyou for sharing that information and really enjoy learning from you.

[@4girlsjewelry]

[@tracydriscoll4998]

Thanks so much for sharing your method of using coffee! Will definitely try this!

[@4girlsjewelry]

🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@HippieBohoJewellery]

Never tried coffee but I will give this a go, thank you for the tip x

[@4girlsjewelry]

You are very welcome 🙏

[@TheKnottedOtter]

What beads did you use for the earrings, they are beautiful

[@llievre]

Really in love with your work!! Thank you so much for sharing! Since you often use the torch to make ball wire ends, do you remove black oxydation due to the torch before using liver of sulfur to oxydise your piece of jewelry?

[@4girlsjewelry]

no, i never remove that, just use liver of sulfur

[@4girlsjewelry]

please, SHARE about my channel

[@stlounsbury]

OMG coffee??? That is so cool!! I’m gonna try it with my LOS 💕❣️😻

[@4girlsjewelry]

THANK YOU!!!!!

[@kathybrigger9431]

What kind of protective coating do you use after the patina and polishing process? If you have a minute I would appreciate it. I know you are busy but I love everything you do and you have really helped me alot. Thanks Tanya.

[@4girlsjewelry]

I use ProtectaClear from Everbrite Always use liquid, I never tried spray… I use brush and apply on wires when they are clean, polished and dry

[@jonianddanbowen4533]

This will be fun to try! Thank you. Also, love those earrings, will you be teaching a future tutorial on those?

[@4girlsjewelry]

Yes, soon

[@jonianddanbowen4533]

@@4girlsjewelry- I cannot wait!!! YAY!

[@dg1h1t]

Amazing content!

[@4girlsjewelry]

Thank You 🙏

[@coolgirl9394]

love this idea!!!!

[@4girlsjewelry]

Thank You kindly ♥️

[@NewYorkCityGritty5]

Is there really a difference in the color than if you didn't put the coffee in. I guess I will try an experiment with coffee in my LOS and without coffee in my LOS. Thank you. Love your videos. ❤

[@4girlsjewelry]

Try it:)

[@blksunshine459]

I'm getting set up to do this too. I've always had a difficult time. I have the same kind of liver of sulfur. Already had my coffee. Water is almost boiling. I have had so much success with your techniques Tonya. Thank you. I'm so nervous about this. I'll let you know.

[@4girlsjewelry]

i don't know how i miss ur comment... i hope u like ur result!!!! Please let me know

[@tishsmiddy71]

How did it turn out

[@spunky2567]

Just a thought, make sure the copper you are using is not coated with anything. It must be raw copper.

[@juliejelaco5208]

Perfect video, thanks beautiful

[@4girlsjewelry]

Glad you liked it! THANK YOU!!!!!! Let me know how u love result!!!

[@mila8894]

I tried and I really loved result ❤️ Thanks

[@4girlsjewelry]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@carinesix6878]

what kind of protection are you using for the juwelry, greetings

[@4girlsjewelry]

I use ProtectaClear from Everbrite

[@carinesix6878]

sorry, just saw the answer when i scroled down, is there a alternatif for protecta clear, its not available in Belgium

[@paulettebrown1134]

Thank you so so Much I’ll try it tomorrow

[@4girlsjewelry]

It’s give that little brownish finish

[@spunky2567]

I purchased coffee, but not a coffee drinker and don't have a coffee pot. Can I use straight from container into boiling water and the LOS?

[@4girlsjewelry]

Yes! It will work! Coffee optional

[@myrnaroman9611]

Friend, thanks to you, I learned the coffee tip ...

[@4girlsjewelry]

It does make a difference 😂

[@jude1515]

It’s interesting that you added the coffee.

[@4girlsjewelry]

I like that chocolate looks:)

[@surialbert1591]

I’m new to this so please forgive me if these are two silly questions. 1) If you don’t use protective coating, what happens to the oxidized copper wire? What is the purpose of the protective coating? 2) Can one cut numerous pieces of copper wire in different lengths and place in liver of sulphur as you demonstrated (with or without coffee added) and clean and polish and then use those pieces of wire for wire wrapping and wire weaving? In other words, can you oxidize the copper wire and clean and polish it as the first step before making the pieces of jewelry? Thanks so much!

[@4girlsjewelry]

Copper wire will oxidize with a time… I love to protect with ProtectaClear so it can stay same for sometime… I guess u can put wires in liver of sulfur and clean and polish and use for ur project… I just like to do that with complete projects, just easier for me… and… there is NO SILLY question… ♥️

[@surialbert1591]

Thank you so much!!!

[@4girlsjewelry]

[@kennethcarmelitaenriquez3342]

what protection will you recommend in the newly patinated jewelry? Thank you..

[@4girlsjewelry]

i use protectaclear

[@bubblefizz9144]

Hi loving your tutorials im obsessed ♥️ What coffee are you using? Is it normal coffee lol I've never seen it look like that before , it just dissolves, your looks like a paste? Or am I missing something 🤔

[@4girlsjewelry]

I use grounds after brewing my coffee :)

[@4girlsjewelry]

I never tried with instant coffee… but it worth to try Also u can have fantastic results just with Liver of Sulfur ❤️❤️❤️❤️ please SHARE my tutorials

[@bubblefizz9144]

I'm not sure what you mean, grounds after brewing? I'm intrigued lol ,can you tell I don't drink coffee 😅 what coffee do I need to purchase?

[@4girlsjewelry]

@@bubblefizz9144 just regular ground coffee 😂

[@patriciacalvinho4629]

Thank you!!

[@4girlsjewelry]

♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@rosanalbandian2572]

Your patina recipe is great, thank you. I've been using #E steel wool after i've used patina, but I am concerned about all those fine metal fibers floating around. It makes a mess and is not healthy. Do you use metal brushes? Also, what is that rectangular pad that you are using? I've looked for polishing pads, but do not see that type of pad.

[@4girlsjewelry]

Yes, I use brass brush, u can get in almost any local hardware store, I use it with soap, baking soda and water and u can polish the way u like

[@4girlsjewelry]

Almost ready to film my new tutorial, let me know what u think 🤔

[@rosanalbandian2572]

Do you patina components and strands of braid, coils and links before you assemble the pieces into a necklace or piece of jewelry?

[@4girlsjewelry]

I always patina finished jewelry

[@sharioncarpenter8293]

Never tried coffee grounds with my liver of sulfur! New technique to try! Thanks! I have heard that worchester sauce makes a good polish. What protection do you use on the polished copper?

[@4girlsjewelry]

I use ProtectaClear liquid

[@yomama8873]

Great thank you 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖💖💖

[@4girlsjewelry]

You’re welcome 😊

[@rosanalbandian2572]

When you use protectaclear, do you coat the beads as well? I purchased the spray before I realized that you use the liquid, I read somewhere that you use 2 coats. I have not used it yet.

[@4girlsjewelry]

i use liquid, and do minimum 2 coats, better 3. I try to not cover beads, but sometimes it is very difficult... it is clear, never ruin any of my beads

[@karenbeavin]

What do you use for protection? And do you dip it or spray it?

[@4girlsjewelry]

I use ProtectaClear liquid and use brush for it, usually i do 3 coatings

[@rhaven50]

What do you use for protection?

[@4girlsjewelry]

ProtectaClear

[@tishsmiddy71]

It doesn’t damage or color the stones ?

[@4girlsjewelry]

nope

[@tishsmiddy71]

Do you use protection on your copper wire ? If so what kind ?

[@4girlsjewelry]

I use ProtectaClear by Everbrite, Inc

[@4girlsjewelry]

But jewelry have to be completely polished, dry and all of last steps u have to use gloves, greasy fingers will leave dark spots

[@mariearce8021]

I'm wondering if you know of any other product to use to patina jewelry. The liver of sulfur smells terrible and I can't use it.

[@4girlsjewelry]

I never tried any other method. I know people use in past cooked eggs, cut in half and leave jewelry in tight container overnight with hard boiled eggs

[@amberm2777]

Just get over the smell it's a superior product
