Colour Your Silver: how to give your silver jewellery an antiqued effect

I made two pairs of earrings in the Petal Earrings class and at the end of the video I showed one pair of the earrings with a darker antiqued patina or surface treatment/colour. This effect is sometimes called 'oxidised' as it can mimic the colour that silver goes when it is tarnished or oxidised. I don't use it on all of my jewellery designs but it can be a lovely way of highlighting a beautiful texture. I also like to use it sometimes on jewellery with lighter stones or beads, especially pink stones - I'm not a pink with bright polished silver type of girl!

This new class teaches you how to easily give your silver jewellery this effect quickly and easily and with the minimum of equipment.

Of course, if you need to make some jewellery first to be able to give it a patina then enrol on one of my other jewellery making classes:
