Bridal Jewelry

If you love the white metals and are drawn to white gold and/or platinum, then sterling silver is an affordable alternative that allows you to get the same look at a fraction of the cost. When you wear a piece of jewelry, it says something about you. Your personality. Your style. Your attention to detail. Truthfully, the jewelry that you choose is all about you and your taste in accessories. Below are five fun facts about your favorite sterling silver jewelry:

Rings can elongate your finger. If you choose a ring style that is longer than it is wide, it can actually make your fingers appear longer. If you have short fingers, perhaps you enjoy the look of an elongated and graceful hand. The length of a ring is measured from top to bottom or, visually, as it would appear from knuckle to knuckle. The width of a ring is measured from side to side or, visually, as it appears horizontally while sitting on your finger.

Colorful cubic zirconia jewelry offers a glimpse at wealth. Cubic zirconia is the world’s most popular simulated diamond, which instantly gives it a look that’s far beyond its cost. Because this stone is a created one, it’s much more affordable than a genuine diamond. Still, the naked eye cannot distinguish between the real thing and an imitation. It has been said that for every one colored diamond, there are 10,000 white diamonds. This means that a colored diamond is much more rare and, therefore, more expensive. Popular diamond colors include yellow, pink, red, blue, black, champagne, chocolate and even green. Cubic zirconia jewelry that imitates these colors give the wearer an instant ‘wow’ appeal.

Dangle earrings are taking a ‘swing’ at current trends. The popularity of today’s earring is centered around the jaw line and having a length that reaches it with ease. Movement in your sterling silver jewelry is always terrific, which is what you will get with a chandelier or chain design, but a large hoop or drop earring is also a smart pick in terms of drape.

Sterling silver is the perfect backdrop for cubic zirconia. Because sterling silver is a white metal, it compliments the flawless cubic zirconia perfectly. If you were to set genuine diamonds in sterling silver, they would have to be of very good quality and nearly eye clean in order to get the perfect look. If the diamonds were less than eye clean, their cloudiness would be obvious. With cubic zirconia, you don’t have to worry about inclusions or other imperfections, which is why they work beautifully with the white tone of sterling silver.

Sterling silver measures high on the hardness level. It is estimated that sterling silver ranges between 2.5 and 2.7 on the hardness level, which makes it stronger than some types of gold. When you wear a piece of jewelry, it’s important that it be sturdy enough to hold up for everyday wear. Whether it’s a ring, bracelet, earring or necklace, your jewelry should be able to withstand regular use.

Silver is a beautiful alternative to its more expensive counterpart white gold but it must be remembered that it also requires considerably more care than white gold as well. Silver tends to tarnish after having it for a very long time, although certain pieces do look quite beautiful with the tarnish on it. I received an antique piece as a gift that is silver and turquoise and its quite tarnished but it is a beautiful piece. It almost appears as if it is a mix of silver and gold because of the tarnish which gives it a really original and aged look.

Many times you can polish your silver after it tarnishes and it will look much better but if you really want to completely remove the tarnish you can also purchase products made specifically for that reason. Some of these products include Silver Lighting and Tarn-X. Both of these products are said to completely remove tarnish from silver jewelry and any other silver you may be looking to clean up.

If you do somewhat like the tarnished look then you may want to look for pieces that have a lot of detail and/or etchings and such in them. These areas on the silver pieces will be the first to tarnish which will add depth and a considerable amount of otherwise missing character to the piece. What happens to these pieces that have these intricate patterns is the etchings in them turn a dark, almost black color that looks quite interesting compared to the brightness of the silver. This makes the piece of jewelry look much more original than it otherwise would.

Another thing to remember when it comes to buying silver jewelry is that because of the varying look silver can have due to things such as the tarnish and etchings or engravings it can sometimes be easy to mistake lower quality silver or even fake silver for high quality sterling or alloy silver. If you end up with fake silver you will find that it will leave green marks on your skin when its worn to long. This could end up being quite embarrassing if you buy a fake piece for a gift for someone so its wise to look into how to tell the difference between fake and real silver.

So, when you get ready to do your holiday shopping this year and you decide that you want to purchase jewelry for that special person on your gift list be sure to keep in mind both the benefits and the drawbacks (as few as there may be) of buying silver verses gold, or white gold. On one hand silver is much more inexpensive than either of the other precious metals often used for jewelry but on the other hand it also takes a little more care than either gold or white gold. Also remember that when buying silver it is easier to pass a fake off as real than it is when buying gold.

If you keep these things in mind you will be sure to give an extra special gift to someone on your list this year.
