Oxidized jhumka refers to a type of Indian earrings made of metal that has been intentionally oxidized to give it an antique, vintage or rustic look. The term “jhumka” refers to a bell-shaped design, which is commonly used for Indian earrings.
Oxidation is a chemical process that involves exposing the metal to oxygen or other oxidizing agents to create a layer of oxide on the surface. This layer changes the color and texture of the metal and creates a patina that gives the jewelry an aged look.
Oxidized jhumka earrings are often made of silver or brass and are popular in Indian fashion. They are versatile and can be worn with both traditional and modern outfits. Many jewelry designers incorporate traditional Indian motifs and patterns into their oxidized jhumka designs.
