Polishing of light weight silver articles

I have a wholesale business of producing and marketing of silver articles. The items are basically of Indian style particularly south Indian style. The items are light weight and it requires careful polishing. So I wanted to know a method of polishing these items to high polish. It will be very helpful to market these items.

It sounds as if you are talking about jewelry with a lot of detail. If that is true, you have 2 basic options. Hand buff or mass finishing systems. If you do not have a lot of volume, it is probably better to hand buff each piece with a soft cotton wheel with either a green or white buffing bar ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] . If you have a lot of volume or want to get away from hand work, you you can use a vibratory mill and use dry organic media of corn cob or walnut shell pretreated with rouge.
