Hello...
I searched here and found a post about coating copper jewelry with something specifically made to protect it (and the wearer's skin). What I'm wondering is, how do you all think using clear nail polish on a silvertone metal (locket from Michael's) would work? I want to keep it from changing color since it's not real silver, as well as protect the wearer's skin in case it leaves a mark. Has anyone ever tried this and did it work out well, and last for a long time? For what it's worth, I've used colored nail polish on metal before (usually buttons or barrettes) and it worked great. Thanks!

there are some really great (two part and or epoxy) coatings for metal...
jewelry is not really my forte... so I can't speak with any authority...
(and that has ever stopped me?)
but, i guess my concern would be...
I am really rough on jewlery and i would likely chip the nail polish off with use...
and then it might get a blotchy oxidation spots.
I am imagining a ring, but, i guess on other things it might hold up better.
i just think there is a really good product out there somewhere.

this is the best product I've found
I've used it & lots of my customers use it & I haven't had any or heard any complaints yet
