Silver

One of the first metals to be used by humans as jewels, Silver has been all time favourite for those who believe in simplicity and grace. It is the whitest colour of any metal and its pure version is extremely soft. Silver has always stood for purity and, we can find many instances of silver being used as a purifier for body and food. Before the advent of antibiotics, Silver compounds were used to prevent infection in World War I and it is still used for water purification.

Commercially silver has a great deal of historical importance as the words ‘money’ and ’silver’ are the same in a dozen or more languages,. The name of the United Kingdom currency "pound" (£) got its name as it represented the value of one troy pound of sterling silver. Thus, silver stands for shine, health and wealth.

  • Buying & Caring tips

    Reliability is crucial for silver as harder material is some times used inside it with plate on top. Metals other than silver are usually heavier.

    Noted models such as Bali Silver and Hill Tribe Silver can be machine made these days. It is important to verify the authenticity before you buy hand crafted materials

    If you are planning to wear the ornament on a daily basis, it is advisable to buy beads which have the least amount of mixture. Higher purity will ensure the stay of the material without any tarnish for a longer time. But these are again less strong than 925 silver and may break easily.

    Mostly, silver jewellery has a tarnished appearance to give it depth and an antique look. One should be careful while cleaning (if required) such stuff. The tarnish is removed with anti-tarnish polishes, lemon juice or even toothpaste with a soft cloth. . If you don’t like the tarnished look of your jewellery, don't wear your silver beads while swimming or when taking a shower.

    The best way to keep your jewellery is to store it in a soft cloth bag or an airtight plastic covers.
