A General Look At Silver Fashion Jewellery

By Mark Ferguson


For many years, women and men have used jewelry to make a fashion statement or to complement an outfit. Jewelry of all types has always caught the eye of those that are looking for the correct accents for an occasion. There are many choices that can be bought at local and online stores for a wide array of prices. Some consumers have purchased gold or platinum jewelry, but the most popular type is silver fashion jewellery. Silver tones have proven to look great with all types of gems and sometimes other 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.

Sterling silver is a semi precious metal that is used for many purposes. When polished and clean, it has a gleaming appearance. It can be scratched fairly easy, but is known to be a very durable metal. Sterling silver is very affordable and durable.

It is very common to find coins, both old and new, made with the material because of its durability. Sterling silver jewelry will usually be stamped with . 925 somewhere on the piece. This stamp indicates the materials used in making the metal known as sterling silver. Without the . 925 stamp, most silver plated jewelry would be passed off as sterling silver.

Another popular choice of silver fashion jewellery is the type that is made out of high quality metals that have a silver tone that does not tarnish or lose its gleam.

Other piece of jewelry that has a silver tone is that of metals, such as stainless steel and titanium. Although these are not precious or semi precious metals, the jewelry pieces can last a lifetime and more. Sometimes pieces made from other metals will leave a discoloration on the skin when it is worn too long.

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