YELLOW ROUGE BAR / 13.75OZ

Jewelers yellow rouge, also known as yellow buffing compound, is another polishing compound used in the jewelry industry to achieve a high shine on metal surfaces. The abrasive used in yellow rouge is typically iron(III) oxide, also known as ferric oxide, just like the red rouge. However, the difference between yellow rouge and red rouge lies in the composition of the binder used in each compound. Yellow rouge usually contains a wax or oil-based binder, which is softer and more pliable than the binders used in other polishing compounds. This makes yellow rouge ideal for polishing delicate or intricate metalwork, such as filigree or etched designs. The fine abrasive particles in the yellow rouge help to remove surface imperfections and scratches, leaving the metal with a smooth and shiny finish. Yellow rouge is often used as a final step in the polishing process, after coarser abrasives like tripoli and red rouge have been used to remove any deeper scratches or imperfections. 13.75oz (391gm) bar compound
