To oxidize or not?

Well, I must be the only one in jewelry-towne who hasn't yet oxidized their silver jewelry *chuckles*.
So I gave the boiled egg technique a go. I've left it for about 2 hours or so, and here is the result. First picture is 'naked' silver, second is oxidized. Not sure how I feel about it. On some pieces I see around I like it very much. On others, not that much. I guess oxidized silver is an aquired taste...
If I decide to oxidize, I can only use the natural, egg technique, because I don't have access to LOS around here and buying it over the internet should be a no-no for this kind of product...

I like the brightness of the first picture. The second one looks dull...

I can see that it would look nice on somethings...but with so many lovely colours it makes the work look weird.

I'd vote for the bright one too. It plays up the different colours of the design much better. Nice encasing idea.
