I have used clear nail polish on earring wires so maybe it would work on the bracelets. Shirley

You can use something like a clear Krylon.

The only thing about sealing is that if the piece is something that takes some abuse, the sealant cracks and comes off.

Personally, I'd rather keep a jar of vinegar in the bathroom, or lemon juice in the fridge, to clean the piece every time I want to wear it. You just soake it for 5-10 minutes and then rinse and it's all nice and bright.

wonder what buyers think of a jar vinegar to clean it! Vicki
