RED ROUGE

Red jeweler's rouge is another type of polishing compound commonly used in jewelry making. The abrasive used in red jeweler's rouge is typically iron oxide, also known as ferric oxide. Iron oxide is a very fine abrasive that is known for its ability to produce a high-gloss finish on metals like gold, silver, and brass. It is also commonly used in other polishing compounds, such as green chromium oxide and yellow jeweler's rouge. Red jeweler's rouge is often used as a final polishing step after using coarser abrasives like white rouge or tripoli. The iron oxide particles in the red rouge are finer than those in white rouge, allowing for a higher level of shine and a more polished finish on the metal surface. 1lb (456gm) bar
