You sure? Say when...
DH Pandora over CG

CG on one side, opal yellow on the other

CG base with DH glass swirled in. The spacers are heavily reduced CG.

More swirly ones with CG base

Just an accent


I'll stop now.

Go to the gallery, type in copper green in the search function. You should have lots of examples come up.

I love copper green! These three are some of my customer favorites that I have been making for the last ten years.

Mina, no, not a disk. Just a smaller donut.

I've read somewhere (in this vast vault of information...lol) but can't find it now that you can soak copper green beads in some liquid to remove the dark staining....anyone know what that liquid might be?

That's what I use, but it does take time. I usually do them overnight.
I've heard of people using some toilet cleaner, but I can never remember what brand when I'm out shopping.

I did read someone say they put it in etch for just moments to take it off. Maybe try one that you won't mind possibly messing up to experiment?

I use that liquid jewellery cleaner, the one that comes in a plastic jar with a little basket to clean off that scum from Copper Green, as well as the Turquoises and Dark Sky Blue.
Sometimes yes, a quick etch is needed which I try to avoid these days.

The etch did the trick and it looks awesome. So does the CIM denim blue set...and the CIM smurfy blue
