Message:: [QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 287814, member: 2844"]Does anyone have any ideas on how to protect displayed silver from tarnish? Some of my kerises have silver parts, and after centuries of polishing the wear is starting to show. There is Renaissance wax, I don't know what that does to silver, but it attracts dust. I have looked at Paraloid B72, an artificial resin, what are your thoughts? Here are two of the victims, the wooden hilt with the silver and gold winged horse (Madura) has natural wear to the black lacquer, no problem, but the wear is worse around one of the wings, abrasion due to polishing. I only use a cloth on that one, but the damage has already been done by previous owners.The poor birdman hilt (North Java) is made of silver on a resin base, he is slowly losing two of his fingers. As you can see, I've stopped polishing that one.[ATTACH=full]92873[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]92874[/ATTACH] Help!! And thank you for looking.[/QUOTE]
