OXIDIZED STERLING SILVERis sterling that has been darkened using a surface treatment. This process helps to give the metal a "tarnished" look and is often used to provide contrast within jewelry pieces. TWISTED WIRE metalworking is a very old technique used by many Southwestern tribes. It can be found in both vintage and modern pieces.
STARBURSTS are a sterling silver design element that can be polished, oxidized and are used in a variety of sizes.
