Oxidised Jewellery Experiences
Why oxidised jewellery?
Oxidised jewellery is a must have styling in every Indian household. They offer a unique combination of vintage and modern appeal. These darkened jewellery pieces look great with traditional clothes like sarees and lehengas. The dark colour of oxidised jewellery adds richness and makes the beautiful embroidery stand out even more, without making the outfit look too busy. Oxidised chokers paired with crop tops or statement pendants with dresses is a great example of a modern look. This versatility allows oxidised jewellery to fit any style, be it casual or formal. The key is balancing colour and style. Layering oxidised jewellery is known to raise the style quotient. You only need to consider the overall weight and design to find the perfect match for your outfit. In addition, buying oxidized jewellery is budget friendly than traditional silver or gold jewellery.

Oxidised Jewellery Style Guide
Here are some tips to style oxidized jewellery:
- Consider the occasion: Oxidized jewellery complements traditional Indian wear like sarees and lehengas beautifully, but it can also go well with a modern crop top and high-waisted pants.
- Don't overdo it: One or two statement pieces are usually enough. Let the oxidized finish be the highlight, not a competition with other accessories.
- Experiment with color: The darkened metal pairs well with a variety of colors. Opt for dramatic looks with black, blue, or maroon, or go brighter with whites, pastels, or jewel tones.
- Hairstyle: Oxidized earrings work with different styles. Studs or smaller hoops complement short hair, while jhumkis add drama to long hair. For necklaces, consider updos for statement pieces and delicate chains for flowing hair.
- Embrace layering: Layering multiple oxidized necklaces of different lengths creates a stylish modern look.
Who can wear oxidised jewellery?
Oxidised jewellery can be worn by men and women. The beauty of oxidised jewellery is that many styles are inherently gender-neutral. Men typically opt for simple chains, bracelets, or rings with clean lines. The darkened finish of oxidised jewellery add a rugged or edgy touch to a man's outfit. Men look for pieces with bold designs or geometric patterns for a more masculine look.
Women can pair oxidised jewellery with a variety of outfits, from traditional Indian wear like sarees and lehengas to casual dresses and jeans. Women have a plethora of oxidised jewellery types to choose – jhumka earrings, necklaces, chokers, jewellery sets, anklets and more. From ethnic to contemporary designs, there is a wide range that oxidised jewellery caters to!
Tips to care for your oxidised jewellery
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Instead, use a soft damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime. For tougher spots, you can make a mild cleaning solution with a few drops of dish soap and lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft cloth.
- Keep your oxidised jewellery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. A tarnish-preventive pouch or airtight container is ideal. Avoid storing multiple pieces together, as they can scratch each other.
- Limit exposure to harsh chemicals like chlorine in swimming pools, perfumes, lotions, and hairspray. These can damage the oxidized finish. Take off your oxidised jewellery before applying these products and put it back on after they dry.
- Taking off your oxidised jewellery before going to sleep helps prevent any damage from snagging or bending.
- Over time, the oxidised finish may fade slightly. You can restore some of the shine with a gentle polishing cloth specifically meant for silver or jewellery. Don't use harsh polishes or abrasive cloths, as they can scratch the surface.
- While you can wear your oxidised jewellery often, avoid excessive touching or rubbing, as this can wear down the oxidised finish.
