Metal beads, metal findings, and wire are a part of many jewelry projects. However metal surfaces can tarnish, coatings and platings can wear away, and some people are allergic to metals.

With Veronica's help, you can learn to overcome these problems.

If you want your jewelry to last years longer, be worn by anyone, and always look as good as the day you made it, this video tutorial is for you.

Watch for Part 2.

Here are some links to the products Veronica uses to protect and seal her metal components:
Denatured alcohol: amzn.to/3XmEXLX
Everbright Protecta Clear: amzn.to/3XpBagN
Aleene's Acrylic Sealer: amzn.to/3XpdE3z
5ML Glass Nail Polish Bottles: amzn.to/4cNgYdi

After you finish making your next project we would encourage you to share your new creation on the Gemstone Orphanage Facebook Group Page:
