TREND REPORT: SILVER JEWELRY

Silver jewelry is making a huge fashion comeback, popping up everywhere from catwalks to the Hollywood red carpet. 

While this will come as no surprise to dedicated silver fans, it’s about time the rest of us became fully acquainted with the versatility of this beautiful precious metal, which works just as perfectly with sun-kissed beach skin as an elegant evening ensemble.

PURE SILVER VS STERLING SILVER

Archaeological finds indicate that we have been adorning our bodies with silver for at least 5,000 years and the metal has an esteemed place in history. In ancient Greece, silver was connected with Artemis, the goddess of the hunt and the moon, who was often depicted with a silver bow and arrows. 

Silver’s reflective, luminous sheen has long been associated with the mysterious qualities of the moon in numerous world cultures. Among jewellers, silver is enduringly popular for its softness and malleability, meaning it is relatively easy to shape. It is also more durable than many metals, which makes it excellent for everyday wear.

Pure silver is too soft to be used for jewelry, so it is alloyed with copper to create sterling silver, which is 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. Gold-plating may be used for a different look and to protect the base metal from wear and tear over time.

From delicate pieces to bold statements, silver jewelry offers endless possibilities for enhancing your personal style. Whether you opt for a chunky statement necklace, elegant dangly earrings, or a stack of sleek bangles, silver’s lustrous appearance adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit. Silver jewelry can be timeless and classic or edgy and avant garde – it’s all in the attitude and the way you wear it.
