About Oxidized Sterling Silver

For those who prefer a more rustic vibe.

Oxidized sterling silver, also known as 'blackened silver,' is crafted from .925 sterling silver. The oxidized look is achieved through a chemical process that accelerates natural tarnishing, darkening the outer surface. Since this process involves sulfides rather than oxygen, the oxidization may fade over time. If this occurs, refer to our blog on how to oxidize sterling silver at home.

 

A unique feature of oxidized pieces is that no two are exactly alike. Each piece is handcrafted by Vibe artisans, resulting in variations in markings and shades.

Pirate Texture

Rugged and weathered.

One of the textures used for our oxidized sterling silver jewelry designs is the pirate texture. This was originally inspired by a pirates long day spent out at sea, which is why the pieces look a bit more weathered. Since the pirate texture features some lighter and darker areas, these styles are perfect for those who prefer low-maintenance jewelry.

Marine Texture

A nautical touch.

Our signature marine texture is designed in honor of our soldiers at sea. The unique details resemble a sunken vessel eroded over time. The marine texture pairs beautifully with 14K solid gold detailing, adding an extra touch to an already bold style. These pieces are perfect for those who prefer never to take their jewelry off. There's no need to worry about dents or dings—our marine texture can withstand just about anything!
