In this video, Professor John Ahr of the Online Jewelry Academy demonstrates how to use a barrel tumbler. This device is an excellent means to apply a shiny finish to most metal jewelry items.
Mechanized finishing processes are utilized by the jewelry industry to save both time and money in mass production. But, they also provide the bench jeweler with a means to both apply a finish and/or work harden an item without deforming it.
Generally the tumbling process takes somewhere between ten minutes and two hours to complete, depending on the desired outcome. It provides a great way to put a polish on intricate details without loosing any surface material.
