There’s a wedding coming up. You are invited. Someone you really care about is getting married and you are wondering what to buy. You don’t want her to receive a gift she won’t need and will have to throw away or worse – keep it around and detest it. Well, I’ve got the answer for you. Sterling silver jewelry – it’s a gift she won’t be able to forget, special and forever in her heart.

Selecting the bride’s gift should be a delight. This experience should be dear to you as the person that is getting married is as well. Besides, buying sterling silver jewelry is not very difficult as there are many guides particularly written for this job. You can find online help or you can use your own instincts and a few tips this article will offer. The selection of a sterling silver jewelry gift is based on several criteria: the sum of money you are willing to spend, the location of the wedding and the wedding color theme if there is one.

You probably wouldn’t want to pay attention to such trivial matters like money as your intention is to give the bride the perfect present. But, however dear this person is to you, sterling silver jewelry has to be picked out according to your budget. There is a large variety of silver jewelry: plain, with a certain style, with gems, all incredibly attractive. Depending on the quality, weight and gemstones, the silver jewelry may cost more than you expected. Everyone knows this precious metal is very fashionable and affordable by any pocket, but you would be amazed by how many options there are regarding sterling silver jewelry and by how much work is done to create a wonderful, perfect ornament. Just think about what you’ll see and how you will have to make a decision. There will be sterling silver jewelry with flower or animal shapes, sterling silver jewelry with Gothic, Celtic, casual, contemporary and vintage style. Choosing a stone won’t be easy as silver jewelry with diamonds, pearls, sapphires, rubies and so many more will be present in front of your eyes. So, money restrictions can be of help when deciding what to buy as each item will have a certain price depending on how well crafted it is and on what stone it has.

As unusual as it may seem, the location of the wedding is very important. Whether it takes place in a church, in a garden or on the beach, the event will have a certain style and the silver jewelry has to be appropriately chosen. And, if you think of style, then pay extra attention to the bride because she is the one that chooses her and her bridesmaids’ dresses. The wedding gown and, more specifically, the neckline will tell you if a necklace is a good idea or not and what type to choose. Sterling silver jewelry for the neck is usually matched with earrings. Silver jewelry for the bride’s neck is however a bad idea if the bride doesn’t have a low or open neckline. Chandeliers are your primary focus in this case. Because the sterling silver jewelry is very important in the outfit of the bride, you have to be careful to the tone of the wedding. Don’t buy sterling silver jewelry that is too casual or too formal for the environment!

Last, but not least, the theme color of the wedding can guide you in your quest for the perfect gift. Although sterling silver jewelry goes well with any bridal dress whether it is soft white, cream, ivory or any blush color, silver jewelry comes with gem stones that may have certain colors. They have to match with the theme color of the event or at least be appropriately chosen. Silver jewelry can have gems with vibrant colors that express vivacity or they can have pastel colors that remind of grace and innocence. The theme color can be seen in the outfits, in the linen tablecloths, in the balloons, ceremonial ribbons and decorative flowers. The silver jewelry doesn’t have to be an exception, but it doesn’t necessarily have to match either. Sterling silver jewelry with gems has to compliment the beauty of the bride, not detract from it. This is why the color of the skin, the haircut and hairstyle, the color of the eyes, the make-up and other tiny details you might overlook are very important. This is the moment to prove your love for color. You mustn’t forget that this is her happiest day and you can contribute to her joy by making her a silver sterling jewelry present she will never forget.

As so many things come into play when buying the silver jewelry gift, a good idea would be to have someone else close to the bride to give you a second opinion and advice. It’s not wise to do it all yourself because silver jewelry is a sensitive part of the wedding and you, as well as everyone else, want it to be perfect. The search, however attentive it may be, will surely be a pleasant one and an experience to keep with you for a long time.

If you want to buy wedding rings, engagement rings or just for your rings collection and you like white color, most likely you’ll choice white gold rings or platinum rings for your options. There are plus minus sides of each material, here are some of them.

White is not a natural color of gold. To create white gold rings, you must mix gold with white materials, such as silver, nickel or palladium. 75% gold + 25% white materials = 18K white gold rings, while 58, 5% gold + 41, 5% white materials = 14K white gold rings. After that, white gold rings usually coated with rhodium to enhance its white color.

Platinum rings purity are more than 90% (approximately 95%). Platinum rings also heavier and denser metal than white gold rings. White is a natural color of platinum and doesn’t need rhodium coating to make platinum rings looks white.

Platinum rings are more durable and more scratch resistance than white gold rings. Platinum rings also don’t need to replated with rhodium, which mean less maintenance.

Platinum rings are more pure, more rare and more difficult to manufactured, which in result will make platinum rings more expensive than white gold rings.

If you buy rings just for your collection I think it’s enough if you buy white gold rings. If you buy white gold rings, you can have approximately two white gold rings than one platinum ring with same price, which means you will have more ring collections and you won’t get easily bored. But if price is not a problem for you, then platinum rings is your selection.

You may consider buying platinum rings for your wedding rings, because you’ll wear it forever. But if you can’t afford it or you think it’s not necessary to buy platinum rings, for example, you won’t wear your wedding rings at work or on your daily life, you can buy white gold rings as your wedding rings or engagement rings. If white gold rings begin to dull, you only need to spend some time and a little cost to replated white gold rings with rhodium, and your white gold ring will shine again. Ask your jewelry stores near you to do that.

If you don’t know what the meaning of 14K gold ring is or you confuse which ring you should choose, 14K gold ring or 18K gold ring, then you have to read this article.

To know how much gold contain in 14K (or 14kt or 14ct or 585) gold ring, you can use math… No No No don’t run away, it’s simple, I promise! Here is the formula:

Pure gold or 100% gold is 24 carat (24K). 14K gold is a mixture of 14 parts of gold and 10 parts of other materials /alloys by weight (14+10=24). If we convert it to percentage:

14K gold ring = (14K/24K) x 100% = 58,333333333333333…..ZZZZzzzz % Gold or 58,5 % Gold for short (the rest 41,5 % is other materials)

While 18K gold ring = (18K/24K) x 100% = 75 % Gold (the rest 25 % is other materials)

And 9K gold ring = … (it’s your home work )

So if you find ring or jewelry with 585 mark, it’s mean that ring contain 58,5% of gold.

It’s because gold is soft material. I Strongly not recommend you to buy 24K gold ring for your wedding or engagement ring. In order to make the gold ring is possible to wear everyday with constant wear and tear, it must be mixed with other materials or metal that is harder than gold. That means 14K gold ring is harder than 18K gold ring, because the percentage of harder material (i.e. other materials) that 14K gold ring contain is bigger than 18K gold ring.

The difference is the material that used to mix with gold. This material will determine the final color of gold ring. But if we talk about gold contain, whether 14K yellow gold ring or 14K white gold ring or 14K rose gold ring will contain same amount of gold, which is 58,5 % of gold.

Now you already know that 14K gold ring is harder than 18K gold ring, so if you are an active person, I suggest you to buy 14K gold ring, because it’s harder and more scratch resistance.

P.S (read from right to left; if you don’t have much time it’s not a must to read it )

Nevertheless, you must only drench them for a short time period of one to two minutes. Subsequently, you ought to wash your jewelry with moderately warm water to take out the solution. Rub it dry with spotless cotton or tissue and you will find out how glowing your crystals appear.

Another way of cleaning is to lightly remove the dust or any hair from the surface of the Swarovski crystal jewelry with the help of a feather or lambswool duster. If you are cleansing a minor piece of jewelry, you could make use of a makeup brush. If you have apprehensions regarding scraping the surface, you can apply compressed gas to drift the dust particles from the crystal.

Place the crystal jewelry on a fresh cotton cloth. Use this piece of cloth only as a work surface. It is not meant to clean the crystal.

Wipe up the crystals with a special-purpose Swarovski crystal cleaning or shining cloth. This will not scuff the surface of the crystal, while other kinds of material might.

Use slightly warm water to wash the crystal if there is any accumulation on the surface. If the accumulation of dust won’t wash off, you can apply a thinned soft dish wash soap. Refrain from using any other branded cleaners on the crystals.
