Q: What is the common "sulfidation treatment" for Nepali jewelry? A: When silver jewelry turns black, "oxidation" is the common folk term. Oxidation refers to the reaction of a substance with oxygen. However, silver (jewelry) turning black is a reaction with "sulfur" in the air, forming "silver sulfide" – the black substance (which may appear coffee-colored, light brown, dark brown, or reddish-brown) on the surface of the silver (jewelry). If not properly maintained, silver (jewelry) will typically tarnish and lose its luster. Therefore, the correct term is "sulfidation," which is a reaction with hydrogen sulfide in the air or sulfur dioxide in moisture, forming silver sulfide on the surface of the silver (jewelry). In Nepali silver jewelry craftsmanship, specific "sulfidation" treatments are intentionally applied (giving it a black or antique appearance) to enhance the piece's artistic character. If you do not prefer this look, you can try gently and repeatedly scrubbing the intentionally sulfidized areas with a soft brush dipped in toothpaste.
