    You might also want to consider white mineral oil, won't ever go rancid/smell and repels pests/bugs.

    Ok, everyone agrees on some kind of oil?
    Here are some more photos, but couldn't get much closer ones than previous ones, cause my camera won't zoom in.

    Thanks. I am one of the forum members whose olive or rice bran oils never go rancid, but I have heard that it can do that. Maybe to do with temperature, or chemicals in the air? Or worse, junk added to the oil?:nailbiting: I only use pure virgin stuff.

    Well aren't you the fancy one :happy:. I've always got mineral oil in as I use it for woodwork. I've never had a problem with olive oil either but have heard from others that it can go off. I'm guessing it may be more of an issue in hot & humid countries, no chance of that in England!

    It's weird, isn't it. I've never had olive oil go off, even when we've had very hot summers.

    Hi,
    I have heard before that in England olive oil never goes bad. Here in the USA it goes bad and I mean BAD after several months or weeks if opened. That is why I always use mineral oil either heavy or light. It NEVER goes bad.

    komokwa The Truth is out there...!

    those are fine pics.....i no longer see any ivory !!

    strip the wire....clean the bangle and get a silversmith to re-wrap it with a thin gold wire.......... imo..
