[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10233630, member: 2844"]My go-to oils are rice bran oil (nice and thin, less chance of residue) or olive oil. I have used both on tortoiseshell/hawksbill items, and they both work fine. If the cracks bother you, I would use nailpolish, as pewter advised. It is reversible. Keep it out of direct sunshine and away from a heat source. Looks at it first thing in the morning, and your day will be filled with joy.:happy:[/QUOTE]
