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...
