Some of the jewellery is blackened through the process of oxidisation, or a has a frosty silver finish through a technique called depletion gilding. These finishes may wear and change over time, revealing more of the surface silver, building its own story. This process will occur faster with rings then earrings due to constant contact and abrasion with the skin. The black oxidisation finish can be reapplied with liver of sulfur or milox available at most jewellery supply stores.
