[QUOTE="chantaljones, post: 2237028, member: 6828"]This is a tip on how to tarnish silver in 15min which normally takes dozens of year. polishing antique silver or coins can sometimes devalue your item. Do you have a antique piece of silver which is polished and you want to give it back its patina. Tip: boil a egg and mash it up. put it in a bag and put the silver item with it and seal the bag air tight. wait for approx 10 to 15min and check the piece if the desired patina is reached. The longer you leave it in the bag the more tarnish it will develop. [B]I do not take any responsibility Please use a other piece of silver first that has no value to try this method out and to see if you like the effect before you apply this to your antique piece.
