These Cylindrical Black Patina Earrings combine angular and cyclic geometry to produce a contemporary pair of earrings that will spice up your jewelry wardrobe. The 2-inch long sterling silver ear wires are bent to form an angular arc that allows these earrings to hang at the perfect angle. Suspended from the ear wires are cylindrical disks that are glazed with a black patina for a sophisticated matte-finish effect. The overall length of these Cylindrical Black Patina Earrings is 2 inches. These earrings are the creation of Jennifer and John Walsh.

Patina is the oxidized metal that coats silver, bronze and copper. Silver is often oxidized to bring out the details in a jewelry piece. During the oxidation process, the decomposition of chemical elements results in the formation of a black coating. The resulting oxidized silver is a copper-silver alloy that is superficially coated superficially with a layer of sulphides.

In many cultures across the globe, the gift of silver represents trust, truth, excellence wisdom and love. Closely tied to Egyptian goddess Isis, silver relates to all things flexible, creative and emotionally intelligent.

To maintain the patina finish of your earrings, never immerse them in water or scrub them harshly. Instead, wipe them gently with a soft polishing cloth.

Silver jewelry should be stored in an airtight container with a soft lining. Cleaning with soap and water and buffing with a soft cloth will keep your silver shiny as new. Avoid exposure of your silver jewelry to abrasive cleansers and bleach, which may cause discoloration.
