A General Discussion On Silver Fashion Jewellery

By Mark Ferguson


Women and men alike have always wanted to make a statement by wearing jewelry. There are many different styles of rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets to choose from in both local stores and on the World Wide Web. Although gold and platinum are always a popular choice, silver fashion jewellery pieces are also very popular, for good reason. Silver is a versatile metal, therefore it can be worn any time of the year and with just about every color clothes, hair and other gems and metals.

There are a few choices in metals when looking for jewelry. Gold is always a favorite, especially in engagement and wedding rings. Although gold is always a good choice in jewelry, silver is sometimes better looking and will last even longer than most other metals.

One of the most popular silver toned jewelry pieces were created in sterling silver. Sterling silver is pure silver that has been mixed with other elements to make it hard and durable. Although it scratches fairly easy, it can be shined to a gleam. All sterling silver is marked with a . 925 stamp somewhere on the piece. Since sterling silver has nickel in it, many people are sensitive to the metal making it hard for some to wear the metal comfortably.

Some people are sensitive to the nickel added in sterling silver; therefore wearing it can be very uncomfortable. A good choice in silver toned jewelry is silver plated. This is when a lesser valued metal is used for the piece, and then it is coated with a silver plating. This plating rarely contains nickel and has the gleam and shine of sterling silver. This jewelry will also tarnish if not worn regularly.

Both silver plated and sterling silver jewelry will become tarnished if it is not worn for a while. The dark tarnish color can be removed by rubbing the piece with a clean cloth and with tarnish remover. After the tarnish is removed, the piece will gleam and shine like it did when it was bought new.

Some silver fashion jewellery is made of a common metal, sometimes steel, with a silver tone coating. This coating will often rub off on the skin of the wearer with continued use. Some jewelry creators use a silver toned metal with a coating so durable, they will often offer a lifetime warranty.

To find out more about choices of silver jewelry, do a little more research on the web or ask your local jeweler.
