Pickle Compound

Citric acid makes a great pickle. We use this to clean oxidisation and flux from our pieces of jewellery after soldering.

This Pickle Compound is a safe, effective way to clean metal after soldering. It quickly removes oxidation, flux, and firescale from brass, copper, silver, gold, and platinum - leaving your pieces bright and ready for polishing.

Made with mild, non-toxic citric acid, it’s a safer alternative to harsh acid pickles and is less likely to cause copper contamination if steel tweezers are accidentally used.

Studio-tested and environmentally friendly, this pickle compound delivers a professional, clean finish on every jewellery project.

How to use

Mix one part citric acid with five to six parts water.
Keep the solution warm in a slow cooker while using, but do not boil.
If you don’t have a slow cooker, combine hot water and pickle compound in a ceramic or glass container.
The pickle can last for months and should be replaced once it stops removing firescale.
Neutralise with bicarbonate of soda before disposing.
Always use copper tongs to handle your pieces safely.

Shipping and Returns

We usually ship orders within 3–5 business days, but we’ll always do our best to pack and send them sooner. You’ll receive an email with a tracking link as soon as your order is on its way. If you need your order quickly, let us know when you check out and we’ll do our best to meet your deadline.

Please note: Choosing Express Post speeds up delivery but doesn’t fast-track packing times.

Shipping Protection covers loss, damage, or theft during transit (but not delays caused by customs). International customers may be charged customs or duty fees, which are the buyer’s responsibility. Delivery times may be affected by Australia Post delays, customs, or other factors outside our control.

Sustainability

Eco-Friendly Packaging

We believe it’s our responsibility to help reduce waste, which is why we do our best to ensure our packaging is recyclable and biodegradable.

We are actively working with our manufacturers to help reduce the plastic packaging used in the products we buy. We’re trying our hardest to reduce, remove or reuse plastic. An exception is our A4 copper sheets, which are packaged in recycled zip lock bags, as we’re unable to source biodegradable zip lock bags in this size.

We try to reuse cardboard boxes, so your order might arrive in a box that has been used before. We also use new boxes made from recycled materials that we encourage you to use again.

Our packing tape, padded mailing satchels, packing peanuts and bubble wrap are biodegradable and compostable. Wherever possible, we use biodegradable zip lock bags.

100% Carbon neutral shipping

Transportation used to ship orders burns fossil fuels and generates carbon emissions. Those emissions trap heat, leading to climate change. Pod Jewellery offsets the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from every shipment.
