Sterling Silver Women's Jewelry

Like women's gold jewelry, sterling silver is used in all kinds of women’s and even men’s sterling silver jewelry. Women’s sterling silver bracelets are often encrusted, or iced out, with lab-grown diamonds or moissanite, a gemstone that’s almost as hard as diamond and, for many, even more brilliant. Moissanite is also grown in the lab because it’s so rare it’s impossible to find enough to make jewelry at scale. Tennis sterling silver bracelets, which feature a single line of diamonds or moissanite all around the bracelet, are especially popular. Women’s sterling silver chains are elegant and eye-catching. They are dainty rope necklaces, sparkling Cuban chain necklaces set with moissanite or diamonds, or moon cut ball necklaces, or stunning moissanite diamond prong necklace made of Cuban links, which are heavy, interlocked round or oval links that lie flat against the skin.

Sterling silver earrings are fashioned as eternity hoops set with radiant moissanite or very feminine stud earrings featuring a single, round cut moissanite gem. If you desire something a little showier, there are also studs with pavè moissanite, which means the gems are clustered together like bricks in a pavement. Sterling silver women’s pendants can include iced out crosses and holy medals, including a micro Lady of Guadalupe. Other pendants are hanging stemmed roses, praying hands, lightning bolts, ankhs and Italian horns. These pendants can also be set with moissanite.

Don’t assume that only diamonds can make proper wedding rings! Sterling silver rings set with moissanite have the same radiance and sparkle and also mean eternal love. You can choose a sensational five-banded ring with round-cut moissanite gems in graduated sizes, an unforgettable diamond prong Cuban ring or a simple sterling silver band encircled with round-cut moissanite gems.

Silver is much like gold. It’s a precious metal, and it’s a little too soft in its pure form to be worn every day. Because of this, it needs to be alloyed with another metal, usually copper. This strengthens the metal and while allowing it to keep its treasured, silvery-white gleam. The ratio of silver to copper is 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper, so you’ll often see a tiny number 925 stamped on a piece of silver. This tells you it’s sterling silver.

By the way, if you love the brilliance of silver but you have a preference for real gold, you have the option of white gold. This is gold alloyed with a silvery metal such as silver itself, palladium or nickel.
