The Many Moods of Silver Jewelry

Silver, smooth, cool and mysterious, has inspired poetry throughout the ages. Silver jewelry accommodates nearly any mood and looks good against any skin tone, making it the ideal gift for men, women and children on any occasion. Unlike gold, with its yellowish tones that bring out the sallow undertones on many women, silver jewelry has a soft gleam that complements skin tones from ivory to ebony. Silver metal is easy to work and holds a sharp definition when it’s etched, engraved or stamped. If you’re looking for a gift for an upcoming spring event, consider a beautiful piece of handmade silver jewelry to carry your sentiments.

Silver Bracelets

From slim, classic tennis bracelets to chunky bangles, silver bracelets run the entire fashion gamut. When choosing silver bracelets as a gift, consider the tastes of the gift recipient. Engraved ID bracelets are a perfect gift for teens and preteens who are celebrating a milestone – Confirmation, Bar Mitzvah or graduation, for example. There’s something grown-up about a silver ID bracelet that makes them the ideal gift for events that mark a passage into another stage toward adulthood.

Silver Pendants

Whether hung from silver chains or suspended on a ribbon or leather lace, silver pendants are another option for gifts of silver jewelry. Among the most popular silver pendants are those with a heritage or tradition behind them, such as the mizpah, a heart or coin engraved with a biblical verse from Genesis and broken in two. A mizpah pendant is the perfect gift to exchange with a best friend upon your graduation, a promise and a prayer that the Lord will keep you both safe until you are together again.

Silver Chains

Forget the heavy gold chains and the gangsta look. Silver chains have a classic elegance and style that is never vulgar or overstated. Among the prettiest variations of silver chains are those adorned with tiny gemstones or crystals. Wear them alone or in multiples to make a fashion statement that’s unforgettable.

Silver Barrettes

Sterling silver barrettes are the perfect adornment for hair of all shades, but look especially lovely against dark or red hair. Hair combs, hair sticks and other types of silver barrettes come in all shapes and sizes, and are an especially suitable gift for baby girls and young girls. Consider a pair of tiny silver butterflies to capture a few wisps of curls at the temples or silver barrettes engraved with a monogram for a young girl.

Silver jewelry is a classic and enduring gift. Whether you’re looking for a birthday gift or a gift to mark another special occasion, look at the wide assortment of meaningful silver jewelry for any occasion.
