Oxidized Jewellery
Mind-blowingly classy, extremely affordable and irrevocably fashionable is the best description of oxidized jewellery. It is stealing for itself a slot in Vogue as the favourite among fashion lovers.
Pure metals like silver, when reacted with black silver-containing hydrochloric acid under chemically controlled conditions, yields a slightly blackened metal that is so widely appreciated by designers, stylists and anyone who loves fashion. Liver of sulphur solution is also used to make oxidized jewellery although the former is preferred as it produces better results. Metals like nickel and alloys like zinc are also added to silver in low compositions to enhance its properties.
The blackening of silver on coming in contact with sulphur has forever been a problem that made it less desirable to use as ornaments because of its unique appearance that merges with all kinds of outfits. Anything from bangles, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, chains, rings and infinite other accessories are available under the banner of oxidized jewellery.
Oxidized jewellery also brings in luxurious designs adorned with gemstones like ruby, sapphire, emeralds etc fixed on perfectly crafted gold bases. Personalized sets of oxidized jewellery consisting of engraved pendants, bracelets et cetera are also coming to the spotlight. More so because of the element of attachment as it is being custom made to suit the fancy of the wearer.
Long life and ease of maintenance make oxidized jewellery more appealing. Storing them in cool, dry places without exposure to natural or artificial light is recommended for a longer life span. Keep these tips in mind as you rush to grab your set.
