·Looks great! What's your technique?
Years ago I was given by an old watchmaker a piece of polishing material to smooth out scratches on matte metal finishes.
I don’t know what it is called, but, it works great if you have time and patience. The fragment next to the bracelet is a small remnant that remains of what I started with to do the job.
Luckily, the bracelet had been previously polished, so, I simply used tape to mask off the polished areas and then just sanded the exposed areas.
Maybe someone will know what it’s called and where to buy. The watchmaker is long since retired.

·Nice job !
I suspect you are using something like - Garryflex Abrasive Block - Fine 240grit
A block consiting of a rubber like compound impregnated with silicon carbide abrasive particles

·Nice work!
Though it was in the context of a knife maker’s supply, seen something like this i believe ive heard it referred to as scotchbright(generic) but you can buy belts made in it too for grinding wheels.
