Eternal Jewelry Coating, Clear Protective Polish-on Sealant to Protect and Shield Metal and Stone Jewelry from Tarnish, Wear and Prevent Allergies .5oz (Single Unit)

I felt the need to write this review bc it seems there is alot of confusion in this product, specifically application process and how long to leave it on your item. I used this on several pieces on my 2 micron gold plated jewelry pieces and application went very smoothly. Seem to fill in a few blemishes in the gold plating and previous clear coating chipping. I can't speak on the full quality and longevity of it just yet. But it seems their number 1 complaint is application. 1) CLEAN YOUR ITEM THOROUGHLY! 2) Use blue polish rag to buff out (gently) remaining tarnish or blemishes (must remove all dust, dirt, finger prints, everything. If you are lazy with this step, your finish product will show it) 3) It comes with an awesome top brush on, think nail polish brush. Brush on a LIGHT FIRST COAT! One of the biggest complaints I've noticed is ppl complaining about a white residue or thick finish coat they can't buff off. This is not suppose to happen if you apply correctly. Again, think apply nail polish. DO NOT load the brush with excessive product. Paint on lightly, remove excess as you blend. This is very important. What happens when you goop on to much nail polish and not remove excess before it dries? It looks awful! 4) Drying time. I wasn't sure how long to let it dry for so I emailed the seller to confirm some info. This seems to be the other missing link that caused complaints. Yes, the longer you leave the product on to cure does give you a thicker result. Recommended dry time is 5 - 60 minutes depending on your item. I left mine on any where from 10 minutes to over an hour (accidentally) and it was still not dry. But you DO NOT want it to dry/harden on your item. You want it to cure. Difference. So yes it was still wet every time I went to polish off (gently). I'm not sure where others got the impression to goop on excessive product to their items then let dry over night? This product goes a long way, use the least amount as possible. You can reapply additional coats easier with more control way easier than it will be if you hastly goop on a ton of product on the first coat hoping to cut corners. That is your mistake, not the sellers nor product fault. 5) Use white polish rag to shine up, GENTLY. Until you know how your item is going to respond to this product, all applications and steps to be done with soft hand. That should be a no brainier. Once you polish off the product to satisfaction, that is when it is dry. HOWEVER, I would not recommend wearing (if jewelry) for a full 8-12 hours just to be safe. Long story short; no gooping on excessive product, no leaving the product on longer than 60 minutes. No crying in baseball. This is just my honest, paying customer review bc I absolutely hate ppl who leave poor reviews on products that they don't understand or know how to use.

I love it! I bought a new water-resistant women's watch, a small lightweight one to wear for summer. As soon as the back of the case touched my skin, the metal ions oxidized the oils, causing that nauseating "metallic" odor that you get when you handle pennies. Since skin is always producing oils, washing my wrist only helped for 2 minutes. I threw it in a drawer while I tried to figure out how to deal with this problem. I discovered that it was just the back of the case, which is supposed to be stainless steel, that was giving off ions; this was easy to determine by simply touching each area of the watch to see if it cause a smell. The first step on the instructions provided further information, since only the case backing produced any tarnish on the cloth provided to prepare the metal for coating (just barely touching the clean-looking metal turned the cloth black!). The process took a few days. Each day I put on one coat, polished it off after 10 minutes, then cured for 24 hours as directed. The smell was diminished after the first coat, but still intolerable. So the whole process took 5 full days because I needed 5 coats to solve the problem. And solved it is! The instructions declare that people with allergies might need multiple coats to defend themselves from their jewelry, and that they might need to add new coats over time. I expect that I will fall into this camp, since I'm trying to deal with an aesthetically revolting reaction between the watch and the oils on my skin. If my wrist starts to stink again I'll update this review to let you know how long it took to wear off the coating.

I think this product is pretty solid. Packaging was cute, the product is easy to use. As far as the other reviews saying the product left a white film on jewelry is KINDA FALSE. When I put the product on AS ADVISED and waited the five minutes to then you wipe off any remaining product... It worked great!! However I did have quite a few pieces of jewelry I had to coat overall and i got lazy lol and started moving faster and would pile on and even dip some jewelry in the coating to save time. That combined with me not wiping it off after 5 to 10 minutes because I was multitasking, it did eventually harden up and when I would curve my chains etc. just as they regularly do on your body, they were kind of stiff and the coating would crack a bit and turn white ish. BUT that ONLY happened when I didn't use the product as directed, I rushed for my last few pieces and that was my fault. But my first pieces came out great. As far as a solution for the “white coat” just get a hand towel or a regular towel and just run your jewelry in between your fingers holding the towel, for bracelets just shine them like your shining shoes! It rubs off NO PROBLEM. After I rubbed the excess off I lightly coated and wiped off as instructed 😂 and its great! As far as how the product actually protects your jewelry, I am not too sure. But I did see so many people comment complaining about this and I wanted to help set that record straight. SOLID PRODUCT so far.

This is supposedly a way to give a clearcoat protection on or over jewelry. I do jewelry lapidary as a hobby. I made some heart shaped pieces out of high grade marble. I coded it with this jewel coating. It’s sort of works but takes a long time to dry. If I had to do it over again, I would probably look for something a little bit better quality.

Unfortunately, I have sensitive ear lobe’s. I have to wear solid gold earrings, or my ear lobes swell and irritated. I can’t sleep with my earrings, because it uncomfortable for me. Which, results to me either misplacing or losing them. So, I purchase 14k gold plates ones. But, there has been many times that I’ve fallen to sleep with them on. Next morning forgetting to take then off. Also, sweating from summer heat temperature or when showering. Cause 14k gold plated earring to discoloratio. Tired of replaying them. I came across this product on amazon. Ive bought this prouduct 2 months ago. Along with a new pair of gold plated earring. I’ve sweated from exercising, I’d even forgot a few times to remove them while showering. So, since I applied this product ( following the instructions. They haven’t tarnished nor desolated. Resulting in the earrings turning black. But I do recommend you apply it to the earring post as well. Because I didn’t and the post has discolored. But, that’s an error on my part. Extremely satisfied with this product.

I tried with this stuff. I really did. maybe my expectations were too high. I've developed what seems to be a zinc allergy in the past few years, and can't wear most of my chains and brass pendants without my skin going to angry red patches and welts. i was hoping for something to protect my skin from that and protect the pieces themselves from tarnish, despite my habit of wearing them in the shower. what actually happened was (as a previous reviewer mentioned) i followed the instructions to the T. I spent 2 hours cleaning off all my pieces, scrubbing all the tarnish off with a toothbrush and toothpaste, even going so far as buying an ultrasonic cleanser to make sure they were absolutely clean, having a great time buffing them till they gleamed with my roommate's dremel tool. followed the instructions to the T, laid on thin even coats, hung them up to dry for about 15 minutes, buffed and reapplied, rinse and repeat a few times... no go, my copper bracelet was turning green again after a couple of days. "okay," I thought, "maybe you do have to apply it thicker for a tough coating" attempt #2, I went so far as to disassemble my copper bracelet to clean and dip each part of it in the stuff. I laid it on quite thick on my other pieces (which is tricky, as the stuff IS absolutely clear, makes it a little hard to see where it's been applied, but I can't fault them for that one) let it set for the max time of 30 minutes, buff off, repeat at least 3 times. there were definitely solid plugs in the holes of the bracelet, so SOMETHING was being layered on, i thought. no dice. my neck was breaking out in hives again after 3 days of wearing a pendant. I give up. maybe i'm doing it wrong, maybe florida's heat damaged the product, maybe I got a bad batch. either way, this stuff just isn't working for me. then again, i've also managed to have issues with nailpolish clearcoat. i'm beginning to think I should just look into plating all my pieces in silver instead.

Some of my jewelry collection are electroplated gold. I only buy gorgeous pieces but solid gold adds so much to the price tag and would be out if my budget. For some reason my skin pH is such that those pieces tarnish quickly. Also my ears are hypersensitive to any metal. I was excited to try this product because of those reasons. We'll, the instructions that came with this product were very clearly explained and easy to follow. I especially love that they included 2 microfiber cloths to first shine my pieces. I worked on my pieces until they were perfectly clean and then added a thin coat and let cure for 1 hour. Then, as instructed, I buffed the pieces with the 2nd microfiber cloth. I am in awe at how perfect and shiny each piece of jewelry came out! Functionally, after the treatment, my ears have had zero reaction to my earrings.

Coating came with a few tarnish cloths and polishing cloths. The bags were clearly marked with directions. The bottle had directions. There was a 4 fold card with directions and another small card with directions about following step #4. I followed all of these directions, set the timer on my phone for 10 minutes and this stuff worked perfectly!! I made sure to remove all finger prints and smudges. I did 1 ring in 3 stages to be sure that I could do each one cleanly. I'll update this post after I have worn the ring for a while. Update: Almost 1 month later and my ring looks fantastic. No reactions around my finger and the coating isn't flaking or peeling. Since the original post I have done an entire men's metal bill fold. Husband says it is holding up well. He has it in his BACK jean pocket every day. Still 5 stars! Update: 4 years later! Still 5 stars. Coating has held up on every item I applied it to. I have never had to touch up anything. I now also use it on older earrings that I start to have a reaction with and metal plated items to preserve the plating.
