Silver by nature is very ductile in nature. This ductility or softness of the material prevents the use of making jewelry directly from pure silver. This led to the development of alloyed silver popularly known as ‘Sterling Silver’ mainly intended to be used as silver jewelry, utensils and artifacts. This is basically a combination of silver along with copper to add strength to the material.
Why should women choose silver as a jewel when metals such as gold, platinum, cheaper American diamonds, etc. are available? Silver has become a woman’s pride to be worn mainly as a low cost alternative to gold and platinum. Further Sterling silver is more durable than other precious metals capable to withstanding the daily wear and tear. Being a low cost alternative to gold, women tend to have at least about a few dozen of silver jewelry in their safe instead of one pair of gold jewelry. Perhaps, holding a good variety of jewelry in the jewel box will enable them to wear a different pair of jewel every day, thus making heads turn around to look at it.
Silver jewelry also has the advantage of being colored in various shades. In fact sterling silver can be coated with gold to give it an effect of gold jewelry. Availability of Silver in various colors helps the wearer to choose jewelry to suit their dresses. Sterling silver earrings and bangles are most commonly sought after by women to match the dresses they wear. Designer jewelry sporting gems embedded in them are most sought after in the market. Indeed the designer silver jewelry is sometimes priced at par with their golden counterparts. The pricing part of silver jewelry studded with American diamonds can vary from $15 to $450, while those studded with diamonds can be as high as $2500.
Sterling Silver jewelry is also common for men’s jewelry. Bracelets, pendants, heavy chains (like those of a chain with a human skeleton) are quite fashionable items for the men folk. They give men a rugged look and are a value for money for the wearer. Some men too like to add silver in their shirts and pants for a fashion.
Leave alone all this, silver in the form of thread is used to weave sarees in South India. It’s indeed a pride among south Indian women to possess at least one saree in their life that is made out of silver thread. This silver thread saree is mainly used as a wedding dress for women. Hey guys out there, why doesn’t u consider having silver thread shirt for your marriage or any other special occasion in your life.
