I've used household bleach to oxidse before, it seems to work pretty quickly (about 20mins for a dark black colour) and you can paint it on or just dunk it.
Then I give it a buff with Rennaisance wax to hold the colour.
Hannah, that's amazing - I love the contrasting colours and the cool look.

Loving that ring Hannah!
Jules - Renaissance wax is great for protecting pieces and for helping keep oxidised colour at your preferred stage.
under E.U. hallmarking laws, eggs used in the colourisation of jewellery must be free range, and of class A, medium, or large for britania silver.
You may be required to send a till reciept, in with the assay paperwork.
