Simple Classic Oval Garnet Ring, Nepalese Handmade 925 Sterling Silver

Size Information: Main Stone Size: Approximately 5x7mm Band Style: Adjustable Open Band Material Description: Natural Garnet, crafted entirely by hand from 925 sterling silver. The black detailing is achieved through a special sulfurization treatment. Q: What is the common "sulfurization treatment" found in 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" on the surface. This manifests as black, brownish, or reddish-brown discoloration. If not properly maintained, silver jewelry can lose its luster and turn black. Therefore, the correct term is "sulfurization," a reaction with hydrogen sulfide or sulfur dioxide in moisture in the air, forming silver sulfide on the jewelry's surface. In Nepalese silver craftsmanship, intentional "sulfurization" treatment (giving a dark or antique appearance) is applied to enhance the unique character of the piece. If you dislike this effect, you can try gently scrubbing the affected areas multiple times with a soft brush dipped in toothpaste to remove the intentionally applied sulfurization.
