Ta Da!

Yesterday I posted on the uses of a boiled egg. I thought I'd quickly share the results. Having boiled the egg, I peeled and split it open, placed it in a plastic container with the jewellery ( not touching) and placed it over the pan of freshly boiled water ( it works faster if it's warm).

Half an hour later, it was changing colour. I left it for another half hour and it was suitably tarnished:
