I’m often asked what my jewelry is made of, especially the pieces with that deep black finish. The answer is simple: sterling silver, intentionally oxidized by hand. Oxidation isn’t just a technique for me; it’s part of my design language.
✨ Contrast That Makes the Design Stand Out
Oxidizing silver creates a rich, dark surface that highlights every fold, textures, and details. The contrast between blackened silver, bright silver, and gold gives each piece depth and sculptural presence.

✨ Low‑Maintenance, Everyday Friendly
Because oxidized silver is intentionally darkened, you don’t have to worry about tarnish or polishing as much. It’s already taken to the far end of the spectrum, so you can simply wear it and enjoy it, and occasionally rub the shiny part with silver cleaning clothes.

✨ A Full Range of Color
Oxidation isn’t just black. I can create:
-
Iridescent blues and purples (like in my past Lotus Flower series)
-
Soft charcoal grays (like in Sakura Collection)
-
Deep, lacquer‑sealed black for maximum contrast (like in Petal Allure Collection)
This control lets me match the finish to the mood of each collection.
Oxidized silver has a grounded, expressive beauty that feels true to the way I design- intentional, sculptural, and made to be lived in. If you’d like a follow‑up on how oxidation works or how to clean oxidized jewelry, I can write that next.
