Over time, and with handling, patina (blackened area) will develop its own unique character. High points/areas of most contact will lighten to reveal and highlight the organic texture of the silver and give the piece new dimension as it ages. A protective coating has been applied to prolong this process, however it is natural and to be expected nonetheless.

 

To slow changes to the finish of your jewelry, keep it away from liquids, soaps, cosmetics, and other chemicals. Remember to remove your jewelry before any wet, rough, or messy activity (such as bathing, swimming, exercising, or using products like purfumes and hairspray). Jewelry cleaning products, such as TarnX tarnish remover, are NOT recommended for oxidized pieces, as they will strip the intentional patina.

 

For any who are interested, patina touch-ups may be arranged for a small fee + shipping costs. To arrange, please feel free to get in touch via info@blackfawnjewelry.com.
