<div class="ajb-collection-intro"><p>Oxidised earrings carry the look of old temple jewellery, with a darkened antique finish that settles into every carved groove and lifts the silver around it. This collection gathers jhumkas, chandbalis, studs and hoops in that blackened, hand-finished style, made for festive days, Navratri nights and everyday ethnic wear. The pieces here in 925 silver are BIS hallmarked, so your silver is verified 92.5 percent pure. Where a design uses German silver or brass, we say so plainly. Shop the full range below.</p></div>

<h2>Jhumkas, chandbalis, studs and hoops</h2><p>From quiet studs to grand danglers, this range covers every shape you reach for in oxidised silver earrings. Oxidised jhumka earrings are the festival favourite, those bell-shaped danglers that sway and catch the light when you move. A chandbali in this oxidised style follows the half-moon of the chand. It layers up regal enough for a wedding or a temple visit. For quieter days, the oxidised studs give you that antique finish in a small form that sits close to the ear, and the hoops carry the same darkened silver in a more modern shape. Browse the wider <a href="/collections/oxidised-jewellery">oxidised silver jewellery</a> range to match a set, or stay with the <a href="/collections/silver-jhumka">silver jhumka earrings</a> edit if jhumkas are your thing.</p><h2>What oxidised really means</h2><p>Oxidising is a finish, not a metal. Sterling silver is treated so the surface darkens, then the raised parts are polished back to bring out the carving. This is why a peacock or a temple motif reads so sharply on an oxidised piece. Be honest about the base: our 925 silver oxidised earrings are real sterling silver, BIS hallmarked at 92.5 percent pure. A lot of market oxidised earrings, the ₹200 to ₹500 kind, are oxidised brass or German silver, lovely for fashion but not solid silver. Each product page states the exact metal, so you always know what you are buying.</p><h2>Styling and care</h2><p>Dark silver works best against colour, which is what makes oxidised earrings for women so versatile. Pair jhumkas with a cotton saree or a kurta in mustard, deep green or rust, and let the dark silver do the talking. Keep the pieces dry, away from perfume and chlorine, and store them in a soft pouch. The antique finish is meant to look aged, so do not over-polish it. A gentle wipe is enough; harsh scrubbing strips the oxidised layer and dulls the depth. To complete a look, see our plain <a href="/collections/silver-earrings">925 silver earrings</a> for a lighter daytime option.</p>

  {
    "q": "What are oxidised earrings?",
    "a": "Oxidised earrings are earrings given a darkened, antique finish through a surface treatment. The metal is blackened, then the raised areas are polished back so carving and motifs stand out. The look suits ethnic and festive wear. The base can be 925 silver, German silver or brass, so always check the product page."
  },
  {
    "q": "Is oxidised jewellery expensive?",
    "a": "It depends on the metal. Fashion oxidised earrings in brass or German silver are inexpensive, often ₹200 to ₹600. Oxidised silver earrings in real 925 sterling cost more because the silver itself has value by weight. Our hallmarked silver pieces show the exact gram weight and live price on every product page."
  },
  {
    "q": "Is 925 silver 100% silver?",
    "a": "No. 925 sterling silver is 92.5 percent pure silver, mixed with 7.5 percent other metal for strength, which is why it is called 925. Every 925 piece here is BIS hallmarked to confirm it. Note that not all oxidised earrings are silver; many in the market are oxidised brass or German silver."
  },
  {
    "q": "How do I care for oxidised earrings so the finish lasts?",
    "a": "The antique finish is meant to look aged, so do not over-polish it. Keep the earrings dry, away from perfume and chlorine, and store them in a soft pouch. Wipe gently with a dry cloth. Harsh rubbing or silver dip removes the oxidised layer and flattens the carved detail."
  },
  {
    "q": "Can you wear oxidised earrings every day?",
    "a": "Yes. Lighter oxidised studs and small jhumkas are easy for daily ethnic wear. Heavier oxidised chandbalis and long jhumkas suit festivals and weddings. With simple care the finish holds well, though oxidised silver is tarnish-resistant, not tarnish-proof, so the look may soften gently over time."
