Antiquing – Paulina Ramirez

Paulina's rings come antiqued which darkens the space around the pattern. This is done via an oxidation process and is relatively permanent. Silver will oxidize naturally, which is what the antiquing is mimicking. However, solid gold does not oxidize. Please note the differences in the photos below. These photos show the difference antiquing makes. The ring on the left has a gold pattern over a sterling silver base. It will readily be antiqued. The solid gold ring on the right is not antiqued. Please note that the antiquing is relatively permanent. However, if you have repeated or prolonged contact with bleaching agents, or harsh detergents, we do not recommend antiquing.
