When it comes to creating flawless, high-gloss jewelry, choosing the right jewelry polishing compound is just as important as the polishing tool itself. At JYBS, we provide a curated selection of polishing compounds—from classic rouges to high-performance buffing compounds—designed to meet the diverse needs of jewelers working with gold, silver, platinum, stainless steel, and more.
Whether you’re cutting through surface imperfections or applying the final luster, our jewelry buffing compounds help transform dull metal into radiant brilliance.
Cutting & Scratch Removal:
Start with coarser buffing compounds to eliminate oxidation, casting marks, and surface blemishes. Green compounds, gray bars, and tripoli are ideal for aggressive material removal without damaging finer details.
Intermediate Smoothing:
Use white or blue polishing rouges for refining the surface after cutting. These offer less abrasion and help prepare the jewelry for final polish while reducing micro-scratches.
High Gloss & Mirror Polish:
Finish with extra-fine compounds like jewelers rouge or red buffing rouge, which are perfect for achieving that signature mirror-like shine on gold and other soft metals. These compounds work best when paired with soft buffing wheels such as cotton or flannel.
Specialty Formulas:
Explore a variety of wax-based, dry bar, or paste-style polishing compound jewelry solutions suitable for delicate stones, stainless steel, or bulk polishing in tumblers.
Our polishing compounds are compatible with a wide range of tools, from bench polishers and hand-held rotary tools to buffing wheels and polishing brushes. Apply a small amount to the wheel while in motion, allowing friction to melt the compound slightly and transfer it evenly across the surface.
For best results:
JYBS offers a trusted selection of jewelry polishing compounds designed to deliver smooth, consistent results across a wide range of metals. From removing fine scratches to achieving a brilliant mirror finish, our buffing compounds and polishing rouges work seamlessly with various buffing wheels and tools.

For gold, rouge-based compounds—especially red or yellow jewelry polishing compound—are ideal for achieving a high-shine finish without scratching the surface. Choose a fine-grade buffing rouge for the final stage of polishing.
While some buffing compounds are multi-purpose, silver and stainless steel benefit from different abrasives. Use a white jewelers rouge or green compound for silver, and a more aggressive compound—like grey or black—for stainless steel to remove tarnish or tough marks.
Not necessarily. Polishing compounds for jewelry can be applied using a buffing wheel on a bench polisher, rotary tool, or even a hand-held flex shaft. The key is matching the compound with the right polish wheel for the material and polishing stage.
They’re often used interchangeably. “Buffing rouge” typically refers to compounds made from iron oxide (red rouge), while “polishing compound” is a broader term that includes other abrasive types. Both are used with buffing wheels to smooth and shine metal surfaces.
After using a polishing compound, gently wipe the piece with a soft cloth, then clean it with warm water and a mild detergent. For detailed or intricate jewelry, consider using a jewelry cleaning brush or ultrasonic cleaner to remove leftover residue.
