The black portions are specifically treated with vulcanization. Q: What is the common "vulcanization treatment" for Nepalese jewelry? A: When silver jewelry turns black, "oxidation" is a common colloquial term. Oxidation refers to a substance reacting with oxygen. However, silver (jewelry) turning black is a reaction with "sulfur" in the air, forming "silver sulfide." The black substance on the surface of silver (jewelry) (which can be coffee-colored, light brown, dark brown, or reddish-brown) is "silver sulfide." Generally, silver (jewelry) will lose its luster and turn black if not properly maintained. Therefore, the correct term should be "sulfidation," which is a reaction caused by hydrogen sulfide or sulfur dioxide in moisture in the air, forming silver sulfide on the surface of the silver (jewelry). In Nepalese silver craftsmanship, specific "vulcanization" treatments are applied (giving a black or aged appearance) to enhance the unique character of the handicraft! If you dislike this effect, you can try gently brushing the treated areas multiple times with a soft brush dipped in toothpaste to remove the intentionally applied vulcanization. Package Includes - Pendant, jewelry box, silver polishing cloth, PVC jewelry storage bag 💫 A special note from Nellie: For jewelry designed with natural stones, we strive to avoid damaging the stones themselves. However, as each piece is entirely handmade, there's a possibility of accidentally causing minor imperfections to the stones during setting. Some may be visible to the naked eye, while others may be undetectable. Please ensure you can accept these potential "flaws of beauty" before completing your purchase! (Most natural stones inherently contain inclusions like cotton-like wisps, bubbles, or natural fissures. We encourage you to inquire or research this information before purchasing. 😊) ■ Shipping Information All Nellie products are shipped from Nepal.
