by Vivek Choudhary Nice life

Feel like a gypsy queen out to conquer the world with your rustic charm. Dazzle onlookers with a kitschy display of pastoral glamour. When you feel the need to do your best tribal avatar, oxidised jewellery online is what you need. It oozes the kind of antique, raw, wild charisma that women find irresistible. It adds a generous dash of vintage goodness that is utterly enticing. Mix it up with flowing prints, sheer blacks, pure whites, fierce monochromes, or pastel ensembles; oxidized jewelry always delivers the bang for the buck.

Oxidation in silver or sterling silver occurs due to exposure to oxygen in a pressurized atmosphere. Jewelry made with oxidized silver exudes an old-world charm and does not contain the regular luster or sheen of other metals but has a unique metallic texture that makes it look rare and antique,

The blackish finish is given to silver jewelry by purposely exposing it to sulfur air or immersing it in potassium sulfide. The jewellery made through this technique stands out. It can be made with ethnic, traditional, or geometric designs paired with precious and semi-precious stones or with other metals like bronze, copper, gold.

WHY IS OXIDISED JEWELLERY POPULAR

Oxidized brass jewelry is high in demand due to its archaic appeal, which, when worn, plays with shadow and light on fabric, giving the wearer an ethereal appearance. Oxidised statement necklaces, earrings, and rings made with tribal motifs are popular among fashion-savvy women.

Besides aesthetics, oxidized jewellery looks glamorous while being relatively affordable and cost-effective.

WHAT KIND OF OXIDISED JEWELLERY IS POPULAR AND TRENDY?

Oxidized jewellery set is the first choice of women who adore the feisty, ethnic, folksy ‘rarer than thou’ look. You may have already noticed that women with an artistic or creative bent of mind often wear oxidized jewelry. To state this as un-stereotypically as we can, think of a high profile literary critic, an independent artist, and a budding hipster musician at a high browed literature or art festival; chances are all of them may be wearing oxidised jewellery. Women who appreciate the boho and hippie looks prefer oxidised jewellery too.

Otherwise, oxidised bangles are immensely popular in regional or festival circuits during Navratri and cultural festivals. Foreigners interested in Indian tribal hand-made jewellery make a beeline to Rajasthan, Gujarat, Odisha, or Bengal for the best regionally-made fashion oxidised jewellery. The original proponents and wearers of oxidised jewellery are the tribal folks of any region, including but not limited to Rajasthani Banjaras, the gypsy people, the Native American tribes, ethnic hill tribes, African and Asian tribes.

Usually, oxidized necklace and earring sets are paired with traditional outfits or sarees but don’t confine oxidized ornaments to just these attires. You can mix and match different Indo-western or modern sartorial styles like a rainbow skirt with a cotton tank top and pair it with chunky oxidized necklaces, or wear a strapless gown with geometric or animal/floral themed oxidized choker and big bracelet cuffs of oxidized silver. Or else, go with classic oxidized gemstone pendants or totemic oxidized earrings paired with daily work wear. The options are many, and the more you experiment with oxidized jewelry, the more creative you can get with your outfit pairings.
