    its the clasp that really needs refinishing, it needs to be a brush effect. I was going to try and do it myself, any tips?

    If it's stainless steel, try green Scotch-Brite. The trick is to keep an even motion (not go back and forth, or in any circular motion).

    Thought I would post some before and after pictures. Before the clasp had been polished to a shine.

    I used some fine wet and dry paper with scotch pads in the end. Taped off the sides of the clasp and put in some elbow grease.

    It turned well. Did you mask the edges to keep them shiny or just wing it?
