eQualle Sandpaper Sheets for Polishing Metal Jewelry (800–3000 Grit Guide)

Restoring shine to metal jewelry doesn’t always require professional tools. With eQualle 9x11 inch Wet/Dry Sandpaper Sheets, you can remove scratches, refine surfaces, and polish rings, bracelets, and pendants to a mirror finish using the right grit sequence.

Why Sanding Jewelry Works

Over time, jewelry develops scratches and dullness. Sanding gradually removes imperfections while preparing the surface for polishing compounds. Ultra-fine grits ensure that precious metals like silver, gold, and stainless steel shine without deep scratches.

Tools You’ll Need

• Sanding block or foam pad (for even pressure)
• Magnifying glass or work light
• Microfiber cloths
• Metal polishing compound
• eQualle Wet/Dry Sandpaper Sheets

Best Sandpaper Grits for Jewelry

• 800 Grit (25-pack) — Removes deeper scratches and evens the surface.
• 1200 Grit (50-pack) — Refines metal after coarse sanding.
• 2000 Grit (100-pack) — Smooths for a near-polished surface.
• 3000 Grit (50-pack) — Final ultra-fine sanding before polishing compounds.

Step-by-Step: Sanding Metal Jewelry

1. Clean the piece. Wash jewelry with mild soap to remove oils and dirt.
2. Start with 800 grit. Sand gently in one direction to remove scratches.
3. Switch to 1200 grit. Smooth the surface and reduce sanding marks.
4. Move to 2000 grit. Wet sand lightly for a silky surface.
5. Finish with 3000 grit. Create a near-mirror finish ready for polishing.
6. Polish. Apply metal polish with a microfiber cloth for maximum shine.

Special Cases

For engraved or delicate jewelry, use small strips of sandpaper folded around a toothpick or dowel to reach tight areas. For softer metals like gold, begin at 1200 grit to avoid over-removal.
