Recently I made a thrumming video on my jewelry page @corkieboltonjewelry I wanted to share a bit more for those interested. In order to thrum you have to secure your work. I like using thermoloc in a vise because it will hold my work secure without marring. What’s the point of me polishing the inside of my nail if I scratch up my pendant 😂🤦‍♀️ I’ve learned all of this the hard way over the years ❤️ I used a cotton string loaded up with Zam. You could certainly use other polishing compounds! If you wanted to use this technique to sand you could use the Mitchell’s abrasive cords we have shared in the past as well! #thrumming #PolishingJewelry #Zam #PolishingGold #JewelryTip #polishingtip
