How to make glass?

How do I make frosted glass shiny?

  • I have this beautiful millefiori glass pendant. The only problem is that the glass has a matte frosted look and is not shiny at all. This really mutes the beautiful dark navy color of this pendant! :( When I get the pendant wet, it becomes shiny and the colors pop out, looking so much better!! However, I want to find a way to make it look like this all the time. I don't want to get a rock tumbler as I don't want to damage the glass, and I don't want to spend tons of money on something I'll only use one time :( So I'm wondering if there is a way to make the glass shiny without using a rock tumbler. Can I polish it by hand somehow? (I know that would take some real elbow grease). Or is there any kind of varnish or long lasting clear glaze I could put over top of it to give it the shiny look? I already tried clear nail polish with poor results :( Anything that would help would be appreciated :)

    So you basically want to take the top layers off? Do you have any sort of industrial glass sander?
