Often you’ll hear people tell you that they’re either a “gold person” or a “silver person”, what is really meant by this is the person’s preference to colour of one of the precious metals. Silver is very close in colour to white gold, slightly lighter and considerably cheaper in cost. The real reason a lot of people prefer a silver necklace over white gold is simply because of the expense, most people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the two metals by merely looking. Sterling silver does however, tarnish with time and exposure to certain elements, due to a chemical reaction with sulphur in the air and in sweat. This reaction causes the surface of the silver to be converted into silver sulphide which turns the look of the silver yellowish, eventually darkening to almost black as the tarnish progresses.
Tarnishing isn’t a problem as such and can literally be wiped away with little effort, even the Queen’s jewellery needs to be polished on occasion to keep it looking tip top and to keep tarnish at bay, so don’t blame the jewellery, blame the metal and minuscule chemical reactions it has with the environment surrounding it.
We stock a huge range of sterling silver chains in many styles which we can make to any length, this means you can have the design (and precious metal) of your choice made into a bracelet, anklet or silver necklace to the exact length that will fit you perfectly. In addition to our necklaces, we have silver bracelets to mix and match to create a matching set. Our silver charm bracelets have been selected for their open link styles, making attaching and wearing charms easier for these chosen styles.
These styles are typically long curb, cable and belcher chain styles, the larger, open links allow for easy fitting of charm jump rings to hold your charms in place. Belcher chains are one of the most suitable and the smaller widths have more links per inch so you can add even more charms to a finer gold charm bracelet. We range over 4600 charms (and always growing), order some charms and a bracelet and we will send you the finished product made just for you and ready to wear. We offer this service with all chains and charms so you can wear your design straight away.
