Eternal CoatingsEternal 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.

It didn’t wear off, didn’t smell after drying, good product

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.

Simply is not a durable long-lasting coating like to add suggests. After thoroughly cleaning my rings with Dawn dish soap and denatured alcohol exactly as the instructions suggest, I still could not get the coating to stick to the rings. The picture included is of The last ring I tried coding. It has two coats on it and after about 5 minutes of wearing the ring there's already discoloration on my finger. I've tried this over 10 times thinking I'm doing it wrong and then I go into the reviews and they're all saying the same thing. It does not work on copper whatsoever. Which is not mentioned in the add at all. I've also tried it multiple times on brass as well which it "sticks" to very slightly better. This stuff's clearly just a marketing gimmick. Primarily used for slow-tarnishing metals like silver or gold. Really just a big waste of time considering drawing time is an hour plus another 24 hours after that before you can do the second coating. Maybe if you have a week's worth of patience, you can build up a solid enough coding to last a while, but that's ridiculous considering that rustoleum dries in 15 minutes.In conclusion, I would recommend rustoleum crystal clear enamel or nail polish. There's no work around you. Just got to do it the hard way and use the nasty chemicals. If you're professional, definitely try the rustoleum, but if you only are trying to coat one ring for personal use, go with clear nail polish all day. Hope this helps
