Q: What is the common "sulfidation treatment" found in Nepalese jewelry? A: When silver jewelry turns black, "oxidation" is a common layman's term. Oxidation refers to a substance's reaction with oxygen. However, silver (jewelry) turns black due to a reaction with "sulfur" in the air. Therefore, the black substance on the surface of silver (jewelry) (which may appear coffee-colored, light brown, dark brown, or reddish-brown) is "silver sulfide." Generally, if not properly maintained, silver (jewelry) will tarnish and lose its luster. Thus, 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 Nepalese silversmithing, a deliberate "sulfidation" treatment is applied (giving it a black or aged appearance) to enhance the piece's artisanal character! If you prefer to remove this effect, you can try gently scrubbing the treated areas multiple times with a soft brush dipped in toothpaste.
