<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dessert58, post: 7803635, member: 78465&quot;][ATTACH=full]424366[/ATTACH] Can I show an unfortunate cross? Yesterday I wanted to clean my &#039;Croix Badine&#039; (south of France, 19th century) because it had horrible RED stains all over it, almost looked like rust! </p><p>So I started cleaning and all of a sudden this happened:it broke into three pieces!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /></p><p>It had had a very bad repair at some time before I bought it and was actually GLUED together with horrible glue! So thats where the red stains came from.</p><p>I could remove the glue and most of the stains on the front although the back still needs some work.</p><p>But I didn&#039;t feel like working on it when I suddenly ended up with three pieces <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Anyhow, still a nice cross and it should be fairly easy to find a jeweler who can repair.</p><p>Just wanted to tell you guys: beware if you start cleaning jewelry! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
