<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Torkel Oftedal, post: 515715, member: 9653&quot;]Earlier today i had a post on a pin/brooch, with yet again so many great answers and suggstions.&nbsp; One of them was to polish it - to make it look better, which i have done, yet briefly, just to see the difference.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>But my question now is of a general sort; when selling a silver item, should it be polished or not?&nbsp; I know the answers vary a lot, but for me it is not easy to know or understand what the &quot;market&quot; wants here. </p><p><br /></p><p>My pin from earlier today is one example, and below you can see photo (not for selling purposes) before and after. There is also another example, of a brooch by Unn Tangerud (David Andersen) - the dark one is mine and will be put up for sale, the polished one is an example from another vintage webshop, who have this item for sale.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As for me, i think these items, like most of your comments earlier today, is looking better when polished. But i also hear that many buyers want the patina, and see the item like more or less destroyed when it is polished.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think out there, what is right and what is wrong?
