Oxidized Silver

Oxidized silver is when silver has been exposed to oxygen for a long period of time, creating a darkened look, but this look can also be expedited by exposing it to sulfur.

Okay.. enough of all this chemical talk.. The look is very rustic, but can also be very minimal because it is black. There really is no other way to get black metal jewelry. It just looks so different and modernized compared to your usual gold or silver.

I picked out some beautiful geometric, minimal, oxidized silver earrings from some of my fave Etsy shops.

Happy shopping,
