My Sterling Silver Jewelry: All the Elegance, Beauty And Symbol of (in) Silver Jewellery & How to Avoid Tarnished Things

Sterling sliver Jewelry and Fashion
Sterling sliver jewelry is a love affair with beauty. It is very elegant and money wise it is a good investment. I really do like silver jewelry and for many years I really have not worn any, however i am beginning to collect more sliver jewelry to enjoy and to create a more elegant beautiful me. I am a very particle person and for some reason, I never though about jewelry or really, my old silver jewelry, some of which has tarnished over the years and some of which is sterling sliver, which does not tarnish.
True silver jewlery has a way of doing that, and I had a love affair with silver and although I tended to break all the rules, I could wear it with almost any colour, and I would still get compliments. I had one with a dragon on it.. so they were unique to say the least.
Still it was necklaces and earrings and rings that added more elegance to my outfits than anything else. I didn't really get into sterling sliver until much later but I still love wearing sliver. Sliver is something which seems as valuable as the gold but the cost to buy much of this fashionable jewelry is by far less expensive than gold or its other counter parts in precious metals.

Tarnishing and Silver
Silver, in particular silver jewelry, is a great thing and unlike gold jewelry, silver does tarnish-- which is not a good thing when you want to wear your jewelry outside the home. This is a small problem, but it can be cleaned, with a bit of cleaning solution. Still if you do get sterling silver, you do not have to worry about tarnish, but even then, you need to take good care with sterling silver. Sterling Sliver if placed in water or somewhere with high humidity can be damaged.
Now, for many cleaning sliver is something you don't like doing, but I have found that if you clean it on a regular basis it seems to be brighter and i get more compliments about how my jewelry looks. Be advised that to clean the tarnish you should make certain that the tarnish remover is meant specifically for your type of sliver.
I have also heard the fact that cleaning too often can have an adverse effect on your silver jewelry, so read the instruction which will accompany your tarnish remover. This far my sliver jewelry cleans well, and my silver bracelet which was tarnished is now as good as new if not better. So care of your silver jewelry is a must. Again you will not need to worry about this if you wear sterling sliver jewelry.
Again there are many ways to clean tarnish, but it is important to avoid tarnish as best you can be keeping your rings and earrings and other necklaces away from too much light, and wrap them up if you are wanting to keep them elegant for a long time to come.

Sliver and Fashion
Sliver and fashion is an ever growing place, but some nice pieces that almost all women can wear. After all there are not as many "rules" one needs to follows when ti comes wot wearing rings or other silver jewelry. The key is that you need to look elegant and fashionable in it.
A few things which can be worn that look both simple and elegant, are sliver earrings, both small and larger depending on where you want to showcase. The smaller loops are very elegant as well.
It is a matter of choice but work with what you love and often a simple sliver necklace and a simple silver pair of earrings looks elegant and awesome on many women.
Silver also has a long history in this world, and like gold, it is valued by many cultures in this world. Sliver as a side note is represented by the crescent moon, and this is often a way that many pendants are created.

Which One do You Like Better?
See results without votingI also love silver dragons, and i do collect them, but sterling silver dragon jewelry is very elegant, and it does go well with most anything you wear.
Of course, wearing something such as a dragon means that one dresses down or with one solid colour to show of the finer details of many of the pendants and brooches available. Dragons are mystical animals but they are known for being smart and wise and beautiful.
Still if you do buy a true silver dragon make certain you have tarnish remover. My dragons however are sterling silver but I also use a dry rag to clean them once and a while to get the details back.
To your success with your silver jewelry

Rebecca, I wear both silver and gold. I, however, have a daughter that will wear only silver. Always has, always will.
tammyL-- that is awesome, and a good choice for many pieces. yes sliver is a good and I do like it a lot
We collect silver coins and other silver items. We use vinegar to clean our silver. Sometimes we use a mixture of salt and a little vinegar to create a mild acid mixture which safely removes the tarnish. Silver is actually prettier than gold. I prefer silver anything to gold.
tiffany jewelry-- teh big thing about cheaper products is teh fact that the slloys often contain nickel which many people are allergic to, so plan to look at the content in the silver. Brand name has NOTHING to do with quality.
the quality of a product depends on its brand. tiffany jewelry and pandora jewelry has good quality, very cheap and less expensive.
Seriously Silver-- yes it was, fun too as it brought back so many memories.
Great hub, finding old jewellery can be a great discovery.
jewellery channel-- yes funky also covers it as well. The designs you can buy are awesome.
silver jewellery is just not elegant and beautiful but is also funky and cool and is available in great designs..
Karen-- yes silver is very nice goes with alomost anything.
Very informative, I've always loved silver jewelery.
pmccray-- for some reason you are correct silver adds that "lovely elegance" to it.
About 3 years ago I started buying more silver jewelry pieces. My first love was gold, but silver adds a classic air to my wardrobe, subtle yet beautiful.
drbj-- I love it this has to be teh ebst comment I've read.. in rhyming verse!!
Silver is classy and never offensive,
But I like gold though it's more expensive.
Also like the hubs you write and share,
Read them all and comment - so there! :)
tammy- I do gope that is teh case, but then of course I am still in the learning stage on this one!
Good one hope you sell lots of silver.
gravenotes-- silver is very nice as well, but I do like it... and probably looks all that more elegant. But all women are elegant, so that making an obivious statement.
I have liked silver increasingly over the years. As a woman goes gray, it just matches silver hair!
Interesting hub.
Cybersupe-- working on post graduate stuff... will have some for you soon. Yes from what I have heard it is very different, but memeories are great... and so is that hard to fit bracelet..
Mike-- well, I am partial to silver so there you go and I did have a lot of fun with this hub, but that ring sounds like it has a million stories to tell.
heart4theword-- never tought of that idea, but sounds like you could, a bit of change never hurt anyone... not a problem like i've said branching out is fun.
Hi Rebbeca aren't memories fun ? Mexico is quite a bit different now than when you were there. As a graduate of Rebbeca University, thanks for all your help. Do you have a post graduate school?
I have a silver ring I've kept since junior high school. Because I've grown an it hasn't it's a pinky ring now, but I'm still pleased to own it.
I like silver very much, I tend to think it accessorizes clothes slightly better than gold.
Voted up and beautiful.
Mike
Something to think about too, when it comes to silver...if a person has any jewelry that is just bits and pieces. One earing lost, clasp or chain broke, consider taken it in to the local coin dealer, you may get a bit of extra change for it? Thanks for the share, I love silver jewelry, less than gold, and looks nice:)
KoffeeKlacht Gals-- I will do teh same as I am doing for Petra I'll make a nice gold hub for you! thanks for teh comment.
Petra-- then for you my friend I shall do a golden hub, so that you can enjoy in the fun as well... yes silver jewelry is quite nice!
hello hello-- I have to admit this was my most fun hub in a long time, goes to show what branching out does for you!
Minnetonka Twin-- thanks for teh rated up and useful, but like you silver is something I love...
Kaie-- yes silver fansinates me as well, but I do love gold, perhaps for the exact reason you do, becuase of the sentiments that comes with it!
juneakid-- you make me jealous but those pieces must be awesome to behold!
Pamela-- thanks so much for stopping by and commenting, yes I love silver, and gold too for that matter.
Interesting hub and information. I wear mostly gold but i have a daughter who will only wear silver. I made her aware of your hub. I know she will be visiting. Good job.
My perspective reflects my gender... Metal is great for "utility." We have an inherent need for jewelry. Thanks for sharing!
I like to look at silver jewelry especially made by Indian American and Mexican artists, but I only wear gold because of my skin tone. Great hub, Rebecca, thank you
Thank you for your lovely hub and very tasteful selection of jewelleries.
I have always loved silver and prefer it over gold on myself. I found this hub very useful. rated up and useful. thx
This was great............ I love silver, rarely wear gold unless it's something I've been given by my parents, but I have to say.......... I do have a thing for platinum. Thanks, I enjoyed this! Kaie
Thank you for this interesting hub, Rebecca. Back in the days when we lived in New Mexico, did did manage to get some striking Navajo silver/turquoise jewelry.
Rebecca, I love gold and silver both depending on what I am wearing. Enjoyed your hub.
samsons1-- I'll admit this now, this is more like a product review than anything else, but I am trying to branch out a bit more.. it was fun writing this.
Hi Rebecca, rated up & useful! Likewise I also like silver but being a man I don't wear it except for rings, watches and belt buckles. I like to use an inexpensive ultra-sonic cleaner personally but it's probably different for ladies.

Gals-- sounds about right, some silver is nice and some gold, but I still prefer silver.
