Unique Oxidized Silver Jhumka Earrings With Multi Beads

Oxidized jewelry, also known as antique jewelry, is a type of jewelry that has been intentionally oxidized to give it an aged, rustic appearance. The process of oxidation involves treating the metal with a chemical compound, typically a sulfide, to create a layer of patina on the surface. This layer of patina can range in color from black to brown to green, depending on the metal and the specific chemical used in the oxidation process.

Oxidized jewelry is often made from metals like silver, brass, and copper, which are more susceptible to oxidation than other metals like gold. The dark, matte finish of oxidized jewelry gives it a unique and distinctive look that is popular in both traditional and contemporary jewelry designs.

Oxidized jewelry is often seen in ethnic or tribal jewelry designs, and is commonly used in pieces like earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. It is also used in men’s jewelry designs, particularly in pieces like cufflinks and tie clips.
