To expose brass highlights and lighten heavily aged chain, fold a piece of xfine steel wool around the end of the chain then pull the chain through :) Repeat this process until the desired amount of patina has been removed. To enrich and protect the finish, spray lightly with a clear satin finish polyurethane coating. There are many other excellent brands available at your local paint/hardware store :)	YOU ARE AT MY DESIGN STUDIO :) click links at right or at the bottom of page to navigate around this site > AGED PATINA BRASS	store: www.vintagebeadshop.etsy.com QUIK TIP! Layering different colors or tones of patina brass (as shown in example at left) will add dimension to your pieces. In this example, I left the dark patina on the background filigree and the dragonfly. This provides visual separation and really brings out the detail in each layer of your design.
