Liver of sulphur (sometimes this can be spelt 'liver of sulfur' or called 'potassium sulphide') is a fantastic and extremely popular product used to create an antiqued, black or iridescent coloured patina on silver, copper, bronze, metal clays and after a little surface preparation work brass and gold too. Colours can range from black, purple, blue, copper and gold and the coloured or darkened effect is great for making any surface texture or decoration more visible. You can also use liver of sulphur to darken sterling silver findings or chains to give a vintage look.
- Available as an approx 10ml handy dropper bottle or 400ml bottle
- Comes with full instructions
- Very easy to use, simply dilute a few drops with water and either dip item in or apply with a brush. Use with cold water for more control creating colours or with hot water for a faster, darker patina.
- Non-Toxic. Surprisingly, our solution is sold in Japan as a traditional bathing solution similar to the sulphurised hot springs that occur naturally. Liver of sulphur is a name that covers a poorly defined mixture of potassium sulfides also known as sulphurated potash. Some of the versions available elsewhere are quite toxic and irritating with a strong ammonia type smell. Our liquid has creates the same wonderful patina from the bright colours through to a deep black but without the toxic effects of many solutions. It does have a rather strong eggy smell, so use with a window open and obviously, although this product is non-toxic, do not ingest. Please note that other versions of liver of sulphur sold elsewhere may not be the same non-toxic version as this.
