Polishing Machine

This is an industrial quality two-lap polishing machine. The laps are impregnated with what is known as "rouge." Different rouge is indicated for the type of metal being polished. The hoods over each wheel catch the minute metallic particles and filter them into a trap. Each accessible portion of the jewelry item is polished. The rouge acts as an abrasive medium which brings out the high metallic luster of precious metals. You can determine good craftmanship in a ring by looking at the INSIDE of the ring shank. The polish should be gleaming and mirror-like. There is NO EXCUSE for bad polish on any piece of jewelry that is manufactured. The jeweler stands in front of the machine and is in a position to fully grasp the item. Believe me, in this kind of work ONLY practice makes perfect!
