Oxidized silver is true sterling silver with a darkened surface patina, created through a chemical process. This finish enhances the jewelry's beauty but can fade over time, revealing the natural silver tone beneath.

Tips for Prolonging the Oxidized Finish:

• Minimize Contact: Avoid wearing oxidized silver jewelry during activities involving aggressive contact, such as showering, handwashing, or applying lotions and creams.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaning: Do not use jewelry cleaning dips or aggressive polishing techniques, as these can strip away the blackened surface.
• Gentle Polishing: If you wish to restore the original silver tone, a polishing cloth can be used to gently remove the patina.

Proper Storage:

• Always store your jewelry in the pouch or box provided to minimize friction.
• Seal it in the plastic ziplock bag provided to slow down oxidation, as sterling silver reacts more quickly when exposed to open air.

Additional Care Tips:

• While the jewelry is splash-proof, it is not sweat-proof, so avoid excessive exposure to sweat to maintain its finish.
• Avoid lotions, perfumes, or creams when wearing oxidized silver jewelry to keep the patina intact.
