Blackening gold: today’s tip is sponsored by @gesswein.jewelry I wanted to share what patina I used on this engraved 18k yellow gold charm. Black Antique (aka Background Antique) works easily, all you do is apply and let it dry. It does not require additional lacquer for protection. If you’d like me to send you the link just comment “patina” on this post and I’ll shoot you a DM along with our Gesswein Promo code! An easy way to remove the patina you don’t want on the raised surfaces is by using Aul Solvent (SKU:2101342) otherwise you can gently polish off. Hope this is helpful as I know many people have asked about patina for gold. #18kgold #blackpatina #handengraved
