*Oxidation permanence varies.
Rings will change in appearance, especially with daily wear. Cuffs not as much and bracelets less so. Necklaces and Earrings seem to retain their patina for years.
Patina is a natural process that happens to objects with long expose to open air and a discolouration appears due to oxidation.
I use a chemical application of Liver of Sulfur as a surface treatment. The silver is instantaneously oxidized and achieves a blackened colour. Each piece is oxidized by hand and slight variations in finishes should be expected.
This treatment will wear off in the high areas over time causing a patina that is unique to the piece. For best results, remove jewellery when showering and swimming or when applying lotions and perfumes.
Although I include a complimentary polishing cloth with each order, do not use the polishing cloth or a silver cleaner on oxidized areas.
When not in use, store your jewellery in an airtight baggie.
