Silver Chains: Classic and Unforgettable

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!

Classic Silver Jewelry - No Way to Go Wrong With!

Some jewelry trends come and go, but one thing stays the same: classic silver jewelry. The best thing about silver is its affordability; even those who can’t afford to buy a nice ring or elaborate pendant made from platinum or gold, might still be able to get those same styles in silver for a better price. And, like gold and platinum, silver can be worn with anything!

About Silver

Silver is a precious metal that is found in the earth, in various countries throughout the world, although it is most abundant in Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Canada, Chile, China and Australia. It has been in use as jewelry, silverware and coinage for thousands of years. As proof of its popularity, the early Anglo-Saxon people had two different spellings of the word “silver”, and the ancient Romans used it by the ton to produce their coins. Yes – silver really is a classic metal!

Silver Bracelets for All Occasions

Although coins and other objects are still made of silver, one of its most fashionable configurations are that of silver bracelets. There are different styles to choose from, including charm bracelets, bangle style bracelets (popular because silver is malleable enough to be bent to fit just about wrist size), chain link bracelets that are similar to necklaces, and gemstone bracelets in which the stones are inset into the metal. With so many different styles, it’s no wonder that silver is so popular!

Simple Silver Rings and Earrings

Silver rings and earrings are available in many different styles. A dangle, or drop, style of earring works well with formal outfits, while a simple pair of jeweled studs with a silver base can be worn on both casual and formal occasions. As a bonus, some people who have sensitivities to different types of metal earrings usually do not have the same allergic reactions to silver.

Silver rings can be either elaborate or simple – the choice is yours. You can have one with many different gemstones, or with one single stone. They are also available with etched in patterns that have a vintage look. You really can’t go wrong with a silver ring!

Silver Pendants, Chains and Necklaces

A silver chain can be worn with just about anything. A simple, thin chain with a small pendant looks nice when paired with jeans and sneakers, and with a little black dress and heels. Yes, with silver necklaces, you can wear the same piece with both outfits – it’s that versatile! Some silver pendants allow you to proudly display your astrological sign, your favorite type of gemstone, or the religious symbol of your choice. You can also eschew the standard pendant and just wear a simple chain. 

No matter your personal style, you should have no trouble at all finding a piece of silver jewelry to fit your needs and complement your outfit. Whether you want to wear a bracelet, a pendant on a chain, a set of earrings or a ring – or one of each – you’ll have plenty to pick from!
