Midnight Chain – Oxidised Drop Chain

The Midnight Drop Chain is an oxidised silver-tone chain with a minimal loop design, a cascading drop and small charm accents.

The Look

The only oxidised piece we make. The metal is deliberately darkened so it reads antique rather than bright, which puts it in a completely different register from the rest of the range — it belongs with handloom, cotton and khadi in a way a polished chain never will. One hook at the neck, and it hangs down the front or turned round to fall down your back.

How to style it

• Deep-neck blouse with a saree — oxidised metal is the natural partner to handloom and cotton.
• V-neck dress in a pale colour — the dark finish reads clearly against cream, white or dusty pastels.
• Kurta or an Indo-western outfit — oxidised jewellery belongs here more than bright plating does.
• Worn down the back with an open-back blouse — the drop runs down your spine.
• Dinner and cocktail evenings — minimal enough to wear where a statement piece would be too much.

If the rest of your jewellery is antique-finish rather than bright, this is the piece that matches it.

Sizing and fit

This is a free size chain suitable for all body types, with extra chain already attached.

How to put it on

1. Open the hook at the neck.
2. Fasten it around your neck, like a necklace.
3. Turn it so the drop falls where you want it — down the front, or down your back.
4. Let it settle on its own rather than pulling it into position.

Put it on last, after clothes, perfume and skincare.

Care

• Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear.
• Keep away from perfume, lotion, hairspray and water.
• Never polish an oxidised finish — polishing removes the darkened surface that gives it its character.
• Keep it in the box it came in. Last thing on, first thing off.

An oxidised finish is meant to look darkened, and it deepens further with wear. That is normal rather than a fault.
