Classic Simplicity Sterling Silver Jewellery
Sterling silver jewellery is synonymous with class and style in the world of fashion. Its versatility and flexibility make it a welcome and useful addition to any person’s wardrobe. Sterling silver jewellery epitomizes classic simplicity in itself, but as the setting for gemstones or combined with other precious metals, the aesthetic value it lends to the wearer is inestimable.
Sterling Silver Jewellery
Pure silver by itself is too soft and would not be practical for jewellery and other ornamental objects. Sterling silver is made when another metal, such as copper, is added to the silver to make it hardy and tough. So, while it is not as sturdy as stainless steel, sterling silver jewellery is nonetheless very durable and long-lasting. That is why a wide array of rings, necklaces, bracelets, charms/beads, body jewellery and more are made from sterling silver.
All sterling silver jewellery is marked as such, and sometimes the name of the designer or manufacturer is engraved on the piece. It is a highly reflective precious metal whose simple yet elegant look is appreciated by both the young and old, the famous and not-so-famous. Some celebrities adorned with sterling silver jewellery on television or in magazines include actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Kristin Davis, musician Sheryl Crow, and hotel heiress and budding thespian Paris Hilton.
Certain maintenance measures need to be taken to care for sterling silver jewellery. To prevent unsightly tarnishing, it should be washed with water and a mild detergent after it is worn, and since it is softer than some other precious metals, abrasion and shock to the piece should be prevented to avoid scratching or marring its surface. In the event that tarnishing does occur, sterling silver jewellery can be polished to restore it to its former sheen.
Conclusion
Whether your dress of choice is casual jeans, practical office attire or a slinky, little black dress for a night out on the town, sterling silver jewellery is the perfect accessory. It adapts easily to all fashion trends without sacrificing the wearer’s personal sense of style. Its allure remains undiminished as it continues to evoke the idea of simple luxury.
