10 Simple steps to Lasts the Colour of Oxidized Jewel
“Worried that a splash of water will ruin your favourite oxidized ring? Don’t be! A smart chemical bonding process ensures that iconic dark look stays locked in place”. Instead of using temporary black paint or superficial dyes that flake off, artisans expose the metal to sulphur based compounds, This triggers a chemical reaction that creates a permanent layer of dark silver sulphide bonded directly into the metal.
Once the entire piece is darkened, craftsmen polish the raised surfaces back to a bright silver shine. The matte charcoal shade remains safely trapped inside the deep, engraved grooves. Because this dark colour lives inside the recessed areas, everyday rubbing, sweat and water cannot reach it, while harsh household chemicals should be avoided, regular everyday wear will never wash this finish off. Instead, it preserves the jewellery’s beautiful, rustic antique look over time.
