A piece of blackened or oxidized silver is true Studded Maze Silver Necklace but it’s surface has been intentionally darkened through by introducing it to a chemical process. This patina, a surface color that occurs when the silver is introduced to sulfides, is a sped up version of the natural tarnishing process. A layer of silver sulfide forms on the exterior of the metal giving it a blackened look.

A quick aside: The term oxidizing is a misnomer since the process is caused by the introduction of sulfides and not oxygen. But nevertheless, the industry terminology has The Studded Maze Silver Necklace although it’s not technically correct.

We jewelers use a chemical compound such as liver of Sulphur, a potassium sulfide, to create the blackened surface on silver jewelry. The range of colors that can be achieved from this process is extensive. At full strength, the color will appear a matte gunmetal black. But with a controlled application, a whole rainbow of colors can be achieved including blues, Studded Maze Silver Necklace, yellows, and reds at Praavy
