Silver jewelry – tips for your selection

silver tips

What are your criteria for your silver jewelry like silver necklace or ring? Are you looking at the silver quality, design or just the pattern? Actually, there are many points you need to focus and analyze all the information for a piece of silver jewelry.

The first thing to check is about the silver property. The pure silver is not really popular for jewelry maker anyway. They are preferred to work with the silver alloy called sterling silver which normally contains 92.5% of silver with 7.5% of copper. The ratio is important for sterling silver jewelry properties. With less silver percentage (less than 92.5%), it refer to less silver inside the jewelry body.  You need to check for the percentage number of silver and other metal for the authentic 925 sterling silver jewelry. Otherwise, you will not get the right sterling silver jewelry for your pieces.

With this percentage, it is considered as high quality sterling silver jewelry as you can be sure for its quality.  Pay attention at this point beforestart to look at the design of the pieces. Although the design is right for you, but without this guarantee, I would recommended not to go with it unless you are really want that design and willing to go with the under standard sterling silver jewelry. The high quality sterling silver can handle in the easy way, forsmooth finish and not have blemished in any kind.

Then, check for the design and pattern for that particular piece. For example, if you are looking for a silver necklace, check for the length of that necklace. Too long or too short hasdirect effect to its weight and how its look on your body.

Last, check for all small details inside the jewelry piece; clasp, connection point as it can make a problem later on if you didn’t pay attention since the beginning. If there are pendants come together with the jewelry piece, check those pendants as well.

The design for sterling silver jewelry might be the first thing that attract your interest, but never make your decision just because of the design. You need to check for more details before make your decision every time. Keep these points in your mind, for your best jewelry pieces to go for.
