I felt the need to write this review bc it seems there is alot of confusion in this product, specifically application process and how long to leave it on your item. I used this on several pieces on my 2 micron gold plated jewelry pieces and application went very smoothly. Seem to fill in a few blemishes in the gold plating and previous clear coating chipping. I can't speak on the full quality and longevity of it just yet. But it seems their number 1 complaint is application.
1) CLEAN YOUR ITEM THOROUGHLY!
2) Use blue polish rag to buff out (gently) remaining tarnish or blemishes (must remove all dust, dirt, finger prints, everything. If you are lazy with this step, your finish product will show it)
3) It comes with an awesome top brush on, think nail polish brush. Brush on a LIGHT FIRST COAT! One of the biggest complaints I've noticed is ppl complaining about a white residue or thick finish coat they can't buff off. This is not suppose to happen if you apply correctly. Again, think apply nail polish. DO NOT load the brush with excessive product. Paint on lightly, remove excess as you blend. This is very important. What happens when you goop on to much nail polish and not remove excess before it dries? It looks awful!
4) Drying time. I wasn't sure how long to let it dry for so I emailed the seller to confirm some info. This seems to be the other missing link that caused complaints. Yes, the longer you leave the product on to cure does give you a thicker result. Recommended dry time is 5 - 60 minutes depending on your item. I left mine on any where from 10 minutes to over an hour (accidentally) and it was still not dry. But you DO NOT want it to dry/harden on your item. You want it to cure. Difference. So yes it was still wet every time I went to polish off (gently). I'm not sure where others got the impression to goop on excessive product to their items then let dry over night? This product goes a long way, use the least amount as possible. You can reapply additional coats easier with more control way easier than it will be if you hastly goop on a ton of product on the first coat hoping to cut corners. That is your mistake, not the sellers nor product fault.
5) Use white polish rag to shine up, GENTLY. Until you know how your item is going to respond to this product, all applications and steps to be done with soft hand. That should be a no brainier.
Once you polish off the product to satisfaction, that is when it is dry. HOWEVER, I would not recommend wearing (if jewelry) for a full 8-12 hours just to be safe.
Long story short; no gooping on excessive product, no leaving the product on longer than 60 minutes. No crying in baseball.
This is just my honest, paying customer review bc I absolutely hate ppl who leave poor reviews on products that they don't understand or know how to use.
I have terrible reactions to non-gold or silver jewelry. But there's so much cute jewelry out there that isn't gold or silver, and it's WAY less expensive. Every time I've had to walk away from buying a cute piece, I've always thought, if I could just have some product that would act as a barrier between my skin and the metal of said jewelry. For a while I used regular clear fingernail polish, but it would always flake off, and the smell wasn't very good, and honestly, I'm not sure having that up against my skin was any better for me than the bare metal. But, great news! Eternal Jewelry Coating IS that product that will create a barrier between metal and the skin that's extra sensitive to it. It ships quickly, comes in this adorable little package (see photos), and has everything you need to coat your favorite jewelry to not only protect your skin from allergic reactions to metal, but also to protect your favorite jewelry from daily wear and tear. If you're sensitive to wearing metal jewelry like me, this is the product you've been looking for!
Great product! Easy to use and didn’t have a strong chemical smell.
The polishing cloth easily removed all the tarnish from my pendant. After polishing I used dawn dish soap to clean it, then used the suede microfiber cloth to dry it. I then painted on the coating, similar to nail polish application, let it dry five minutes, and buffed it with the suede cloth. My pendant looks shiny and new. It doesn’t look coated and has enhanced the look of my pendant.

I'm in love with this stuff. I have a ring I don't wear often (as in once every couple years) and I use to have to polish off the tarnish every time I'd wear it! The instructions were simple and easy to follow, and the ring turned out shinier than I could have imagined! It's also nice that my ring can sit in my jewelry box and always look pretty even when not wearing, because the ring holds sentimental value.
I was glad that the coating wasn't at all visible (other than making the ring shinier). There were no streaks or globs!
It was nice that it wasn't a long process, waaayyy quicker than having to remove tarnish in the future. It also didn't have a strong smell.
I totally recommend!
My daughter has very sensitive skin. Because of this, it makes it difficult for us to find earrings that don't cause swelling and discomfort. We coated the posts of a pair of earrings which she hadn't been able to wear. The coating prevented her from reacting to the earrings. This product has so many other applications. My husband even used it to protect some patina on a classic car he is restoring.

Description
Eternal Jewelry Coating is the most durable and easy-to-use, affordable jewelry coating ever created. Our proprietary formula utilizes nano-ceramic technology to achieve maximum durability while maintaining the beauty and feel of metal and stone jewelry. In addition, a Polishing Cloth and Suede Microfiber are included in the kit for cleaning and maintaining your jewelry. Eternal Jewelry Coating is also the perfect way to protect the delicate details and quality of hand-stamped, oxidized with Liver of Sulfur, Patina, Gold Plating, Costume and Boho jewelry. Unlike other coatings that act similar to a clear paint, Eternal Jewelry Coating bonds with the surface of your jewelry at a molecular level, allowing the coating to protect more effectively, require less thickness and never separate or peel. The ease of applying Eternal Jewelry Coating is one of it's greatest benefits. Other coatings require drying time during which the coating will be ruined if it is touched, uneven, too thick or encounters a spec of dust. It's impossible to get it right every time no matter how careful and skilled you are. Eternal Jewelry Coating eliminates these application issues. Once the coating is applied with the included brush cap, the nanoparticles bond to the surface of your jewelry. After 10 minutes to 1 hour (the longer you wait, the thicker the final coating), you simply polish off the remaining coating with the included suede microfiber and you're finished! The coating will create a water and dust repellent surface that's easy-to-clean, prevents allergic reactions and protects the piece from tarnish and wear. IMPORTANT NOTE FOR FIRST TIME USERS: Please pay special attention to step 4 of instructions. After waiting for the coating to bond with the surface (step 3) the remaining coating must be polished off (removed) with the microfiber until the surface is shiny, even and the coating is totally clear and streak-less.
Coating came with a few tarnish cloths and polishing cloths. The bags were clearly marked with directions. The bottle had directions. There was a 4 fold card with directions and another small card with directions about following step #4. I followed all of these directions, set the timer on my phone for 10 minutes and this stuff worked perfectly!! I made sure to remove all finger prints and smudges. I did 1 ring in 3 stages to be sure that I could do each one cleanly. I'll update this post after I have worn the ring for a while.
Update: Almost 1 month later and my ring looks fantastic. No reactions around my finger and the coating isn't flaking or peeling. Since the original post I have done an entire men's metal bill fold. Husband says it is holding up well. He has it in his BACK jean pocket every day. Still 5 stars!
I love this stuff! It cleans & polishes jewelry so well. I’ve been making jewelry for years so I have A LOT of jewelry, and need good products like this to help keep my collection nice! And I thinks it’s supposed to protect the jewelry too so it won’t tarnish and stuff- it hasn’t been long enough for me to tell that yet but I’m excited to see how it holds up.
I have been looking for a product to help protect our jewelry and Eternal Jewelry Coating did not disappoint. First, the package arrived very quickly and was packaged in a well-designed and secure box to avoid damage to the product. Then, it has simple to follow instructions and two cloths to clean and polish your piece(s). After application, there isn’t a greasy feeling and seems like it will hold up well to the daily wear and tear life will throw at it. Great product!
Received Eternal Jewelry Coating with Microfiber and Polishing Cloths yesterday. My silver earrings haven't looked this good in years. As you can see from the picture the earring of the left is untouched. The earring on the right has been cleaned with water and a few drops of Dawn, dried and then polished with the polishing cloth and buffed with the microfiber cloth. The difference is remarkable. And now with the Eternal Jewelry Coating they will stay clean and shiny.
I purchased this coating a couple months ago based on a recomendation from a friend. I didn’t know that something like this existed! This stuff was really easy to apply. It has held up well after applying it two months ago. I bet some of the one star reviews come from people not following instructions. I would recommend following the instructions closely when applying, and you will be A-ok!
One thing I did expect when putting the coating on was a harsh chemical smell like a fiberglass resin or rubber cement. Nothing worse than stinking up the house just to glue something if you know what I mean. Well this wasn’t the case. It does have a slight odor, but relatively mild for what I was expecting.
