Sterling Silver is back on top of the precious metals list
Sterling Silver is one of the most versatile and hard-wearing precious metals used in making jewellery. It is also increasingly becoming more popular with fine jewellers and craftsmen, particularly those working within the minimalist styles of Scandinavia.
Growing demand for Sterling Silver
The impact of the pandemic and the associated global financial upheaval are significant factors behind the revival of Sterling Silver. The soaring price of gold left few options for manufacturers who began to switch to the precious white metal.
Unlike vintage silver pieces, sterling silver is bold, bright, and durable. Some retailers are using recycled materials to produce this sparkling metal and thus, emphasise its benefits for eco-friendly consumers.
Many skilled Mexican silversmiths produce some of the world’s best handmade sterling silver jewellery created from specialised Mexican silver. Considering its high-quality, Mexican silver is another precious metal next to sterling silver.
A complementary metal
Recently several new techniques to produce and design jewellery with sterling silver have been developed. Since Sterling Silver complements most metals, silversmiths enjoy using the precious metal to create delicate styles combined with various precious gemstones.
Sterling Silver is also a relatively easy metal to work with, allowing jewellers to create innovative and on-trend designs like shoulder-length shimmering chain earrings, personalised necklaces, and stone-studded bracelets that have proven to be the best sellers worldwide.
No matter the occasion, Sterling Silver adds a classy look and never overpowers your look. It works with any personal style and is an excellent choice for all ages and genders. It suits most skin tones, and is less likely to cause an allergic reaction.
