Oxidizing with Silver Black
By Tammy Powley, About.com
If you don't want all of your piece to be black, then you need to control the amount of Silver Black used as well as the places you apply it. Pictured is a sterling charm that I didn't want totally black, just oxidized enough to show more detail. At this stage, it is highly polished.
