Why We Use Renaissance Wax
This isn't your average polish. Renaissance Wax is the go-to choice for museums and professionals around the globe for preserving fine art and precious items. Developed by a British Museum scientist, it forms a clear, durable protective layer that doesn’t discolor or obscure the intricate details of your jewelry. It's a powerhouse for protecting against tarnish, corrosion, and moisture, while also resisting fingerprints and dirt. Think of it as a long-lasting shield for your favorite pendants, rings, or gemstone piece.
How We Apply Renaissance Wax to Our Vintage Pieces
Here’s how we finish our vintage pendants using Renaissance Wax—it’s simple and effective:
- Use a Dab – Just a tiny amount will do. We lightly dab the wax on the jewelry.
- Rub Gently – We rub it in gently, making sure the surface is covered evenly.
- Buff It Out – A quick buff brings out a beautiful luster that highlights the fine details without being abrasive.
