Sterling silver jewelry is enjoying an unprecedented popularity with today's fashion conscious public.
You know how beautiful sterling silver jewelry is and how brilliantly it shines. Now here is the rest of the
story.
Silver has been used since ancient times, but has not
survived as well as ancient gold because it tarnished and decomposes. There have been
times, however, when silver was "in"; we are going through such a vogue today.
Silver is the commonest of the precious metals. Fine
silver is pure silver, which is seldom used for jewelry because it is too soft. Sterling
silver is 925 parts silver to 75 of copper, the alloy most often used. Silver weighs about
half as much as gold, has greater flexibility, but is not as malleable, it has always been
less expensive as well. A comparable piece of gold jewelry might cost four or five times
that of a piece of sterling silver jewelry.
The current fashion trend toward black clothing has made
silver jewelry more popular than ever. Silver likes to be worn; it stays cleaner &
shinier through movement and friction. So sterling silver is a perfect accessory for
today's fast paced lifestyles.
