Always make a test first!

On many labels, there is a mention to test on a small area before using the product.  Well, it also apply to crafting.  I wanted to dissinfect a pair of earring in rubbing alcool.  It ended up like this:

 
It have lost it's sheen and opalescence.  It gives me the impression of being turned into a set of ghost earring.  I take it as an sad lost.  I didn't gave much of a thought when doing the deed.  Rubbing alcool seems safe enough to dip those earring.  Now, I have a pair of ruined earring.

Lesson learned.  Now, I will be a bit more careful in the maintenace of my earrings and jewelry in general.  Better be safe than sorry.
