Silver has been around for as long as most metals like gold, copper, iron, tin, lead, and mercury have been around but only recently has it risen its popularity and value. And because the material is priced lower than gold and platinum, it allows jewellery designers to create unique pieces of silver jewellery without having to spend a lot.
The increasing number of designs available for silver jewellery has also attracted even more people to wear it. It’s bright and shiny without the flashy feel that most gold jewellery give off. It’s also easier to clean and maintain making it a jewellery you can expect to last with you for many years.

If you have plans of investing in silver jewellery one of these days, we thought it might be helpful that you know the reasons why it’s a smart idea to do so.
- Value
There is more silver in the market than there is gold or platinum which makes its price more accessible to most consumers. It doesn’t mean it’s cheap though. Silver is still a little pricey but compared to other metals, it will feel like you have invested your money well for a metal that can be relied on regularly to adding a touch of sophistication and brilliance to your look.
- Wide selection of styles
Because silver jewellery comes in so many designs, it’s not that hard to find one at an online silver jewellery store that will fit your taste perfectly. And you need not to worry about changing trends.
Silver jewellery is affordable that it wouldn’t feel like a waste if you still had that silver piece that you bought two seasons ago. Silver jewellery gets to be enjoyed in many different designs unlike other metals where it takes more considerations for the designer to make one for fear that it might not sell.
- Durable
Silver is a resilient metal which takes a lot of roughing up before it shows signs of damage. And even if it is damaged, it can easily be filed and polished by a jeweller for an affordable price. Gold on the other hand is soft and more likely to bend, warp, and gouge.
- Light weight
Silver is lighter than gold making it a jewellery piece that is more comfortable to wear for longer periods. So if you’re planning to buy gold jewellery online, you might want to reconsider and purchase silver instead.
- Versatile
Gold will dramatically change the way your outfit looks but silver won’t. In fact, silver jewellery will only look good in just about anything and might just even complement and enhance your overall look. Silver jewellery also looks good on different skin tones unlike gold which doesn’t have an appealing effect on people with warm undertones.
When paired with other gemstones, silver just look even more beautiful. Whether they’re diamonds, rubies, emeralds, jade, onyx, amber or sapphires, the natural hue of silver makes the gemstones appear clearer and brighter than they are. So if you are planning to get jewellery in a specific gemstone, make silver your choice metal.
- Health-friendly
Medical research states that wearing silver jewellery can help balance various body elements, keeps blood vessels elastic, helps with bone and skin formation, acts as a pain killer for muscle pain and remedies arthritis. These benefits are derived from silver’s ability to generate an electrical field which distributes electricity and heat around the body.
There are more benefits to wearing silver than there is with any other precious metal. So wait no longer and get a hold of your own that you can wear, style, and enjoy health benefits from.
