[Jewelry making - Article 00197] - [Orchid] Cleaning ancient Roman glass

Hi,

    I have been lucky to come into several shards of Ancient Roman glass
    with beautiful patinas. I would like to clean these pieces before
    setting them. In addition to caked dirt (?) that can be gently
    scraped off, I would also like to make them as shiny as possible. I
    have seen finished jewelry embedded with very shiny pieces. 

    Would anybody be able to assist me with information/personal
    experience in this matter? I would not want to do anything to damage
    those patinas... :-) 

Thanx and keep shining,
Devora
