When it comes to jewelry, platinum and
gold get all of the attention while metals like silver get
overlooked. Despite the lack of flashiness, and its reputation as a
less-expensive, less-trendy metal, silver should not be forgotten. A
simple silver chain, pendant necklace, or other piece of jewelry is a
classic alternative to the trendier pieces, and can truly be worn
with everything at every time.
Types of Silver Chains
There are as many different type of
sterling silver chains as there are gold ones, perhaps even more so.
Silver chains can be designed for either men or women, with the
thickness and link pattern providing the main difference between the
two. Men’s silver chains are thicker and the links are closer
together. Good examples of this are the Byzantine style and the Miami Cuban link chains. On the other hand, women’s silver chains are
thinner and more “dainty.” Popular women’s styles include the
mesh link and the twisted rope styles. However, one exception to this
rule is the flat omega style of chain – these are made of flat,
thick links placed right up against one another – but they are
distinctly feminine at the same time. All that matters is that
whether they are for men or women, these silver chains come in a
variety of lengths, making it easy to find the best one for your
needs.
Mix Your Metals
Silver is a metal that can easily be
combined with others, in particular, gold. Silver chains with gold
accents, or alternating links, provide a bit of both worlds, or “yin
and yang” to your jewelry. These necklaces have the coolness of the
silver and the warmth of the gold at the same time, and match all of
your other pieces – after all, a gold ring and a silver pair of
earrings both go with a chain made of both metals. One great example
of this is a two-tone necklace with alternating fancy cut links of
rose gold and sterling silver.
Add a Some Pearls
Nothing says “preppy” like a simple
pearl necklace – but a pearl necklace with sterling silver accents?
That’s more “classic” than anything else. The addition of the
metal adds a little dimension, turning the necklace into something
that is both timeless and versatile. Or, if you like more silver and
less pearls, a long knotted silver chain with two single pearls
dangling from the ends might be more your speed. This particular
necklace works well with a casual outfit, like leggings and a long
top, but it can work with a dress as well, provided the neckline
doesn’t get in the way. No matter what, wear your silver chain with
pride!
