Silver Jewelry has always been a popular choice with women. However, the acceptability and demand for silver jewelry as a fashion accessory has shot up considerably in the past decade.
The present popularity of silver jewelry can be attributed to the elegance and versatility associated with it. It is today accepted as a more contemporary jewelry option vis-à-vis the expensive and heavy traditional gold jewelry. In fact, fashion demands have created an environment where the trendiest designs are often created for costume and silver jewelry.
Most silver jewelry available as on date is crafted out of sterling silver, an alloy containing almost 93% silver and 7% copper. A wide variety of stylish jewelry pieces are available in sterling silver ranging from plain silver to silver crafted with colored gemstones. From a fashion perspective, sterling silver is mainly suitable for daytime wear. During winters, silver gels well if worn with black, blue and other dark colors. Yet in the summer, worn with pastels and lightweight clothing, silver looks cool and comfortable.
Sterling silver jewelry is tarnished fairly quickly. Over a period, sterling silver develops a dull finish that gives it an antique look. Over exposure, builds up a black oxidation in the fine details of the piece, giving it a beautiful and unique look.

Commonly used cleaning methods for silver:
Using warm water and mild dish soap
Frequent hand polishing with a soft cloth
Cleaning with toothpaste and soft brush. Toothpaste is a very effective tarnish remover but it should be cautiously used if the jewelry piece has gemstones in it
Many commercially developed cleaners work well for removing silver tarnish. However, it is important to know the side effects of the cleaner before using it.
