Since ancient times the natural beauty of silver has made it a desirable material.  Even brighter than rhodium and platinum, silver has beautiful shine and is the whitest of all metals.  The highly reflective nature of silver explains the use of it in the making of mirrors.

Although there are many uses of silver, jewelry is one of the most popular.  Silver jewelry designers lovingly craft silver into beautiful designs limited only by the imagination.  Both affordable and beautiful silver jewelry can be found at retailers and on the internet.  Look for retailers who have a good return policy.

Pure silver is extremely soft and malleable.  Silver is mixed with other metals to create jewelry that is not only beautiful but durable enough for everyday wear.  The most common of these mixtures is an alloy known as sterling silver.  Copper is added to the silver to provide durability without affecting the beauty of the silver.  The only trouble with copper is that it tarnishes.  Some maintenance is required to keep your jewelry looking its best but luckily it is a simple and straightforward process.  Once you understand a few simple dos and don’ts it will be easy for you to properly care for your silver jewelry.

Following are some suggestions of what to do to in order to keep your silver jewelry at its finest.

wear your silver jewelry often.  Surprisingly wearing your silver jewelry is one of the easiest ways to keep it clean.  It sounds strange but the more you wear your silver jewelry the less often you will need to clean it.  Our skin produces oils naturally that help to prevent our silver jewelry from tarnishing.  When the silver comes in contact with our skin the oils transfer to the surface of the silver keeping it shining longer.  If worn continually sterling silver jewelry develops a lovely look called a patina over time.  This glowing quality with some darker areas is preferred by many silver jewelry wearers.  Many consider the patina developed by silver to add to the character or personality of the piece.

use specially formulated silver polish if you do not prefer the look of silver patina and desire a bright shining look to your silver jewelry.  These polishes are created without abrasives that would scratch your silver.  Remember silver has a soft quality to it and can scratch easily.  There are many silver polishes that can be found on the market today.   They are easy to afford and easy to use.  Simply follow the manufacturer’s directions to achieve the best results.

use polishing cloths.  These cloths are specially treated to shine your silver jewelry without scratching and contain special chemicals that slow down the tarnishing process.  These cloths can be found in jewelry shops and online retailers and may even be found in discount stores near their jewelry departments.

periodically clean your silver jewelry with mild, phosphate-free soap such as dish soap.  Gently wash your silver jewelry in warm water.  Taking the time to line a glass baking dish with a dishtowel or other soft cotton cloth before adding your jewelry will help you to keep from accidentally scratching your precious pieces.  Dry thoroughly with a cotton cloth before storing.  If your silver jewelry is ornately carved or has many facets or angles, be sure to dry any hidden or hard to reach areas with extra care.

store your silver jewelry in a cool, dry place.  Use a silver jewelry storage bag or a separate compartment in your jewelry box to avoid any contact with other jewelry as it can scratch the surface of the silver.  If you will be storing your silver jewelry for the long term, use a sealable plastic zip-lock type bag or another air-tight container for your silver jewelry.  Keeping air away from your silver jewelry will slow the tarnishing process.

Now for what NOT to do:

use toothpaste to clean your sterling silver jewelry.  There is some controversy about this however, experts agree that toothpaste is too abrasive to be used on silver and may scratch the surface diminishing the beauty and value.  Using toothpaste to clean silver is common advice but it is always better to be safe than sorry.

expose your silver jewelry to harsh chemicals.  Chemicals such as chlorine, bleach and ammonia are obvious substances to avoid.  Sneakier shine destroyers are chemicals found in perfume, hair spray and cosmetics.  It is better to cover your jewelry or to adorn yourself with it after your hair and makeup are applied.

let your sterling silver jewelry lie directly on wood surfaces as wood usually contains acid that can damage the silver’s surface.  We are all guilty of setting our jewelry on our dressers or jewelry boxes at night time.  Hopefully that is a thing of the past as we now know what it does to our silver jewelry.

With proper care your sterling silver jewelry will last a lifetime.  Now that you know how to care for your silver jewelry you can shop with confidence.   Try some new looks with discount silver earrings, necklaces, bracelets and more.

Close your eyes and imagine yourself wearing pearl jewellery. What do you see? You might be dreaming of wearing a pearl necklace or a pair of earrings. But have you ever dreamt of wearing a bracelet? No. It is because among all the jewelleries, bracelet is the one discovered very late as a fashion statement and hence it strikes our mind very late. But human beings from Stone Age are wearing various ornaments around their wrists made of either bones or animal skins or of leaves. Wrist band or a simple lining of an animal skin around wrist to mark something was there among our ancestors. But it was a very casual affair. And even today in most of the countries a bracelet somehow is considered to be a casual style wear. Till late 70s it was not in the scene of wedding jewellery. Gradually it gripped its position among formal, occasional dressing. By 90s almost every ninth person in UK used to wear a bracelet. Even bracelet made its way into wedding jewelleries. And now it’s an essential element of wedding jewellery irrespective of the fact whether you use platinum diamond studded jewellery or traditional pearl jewellery.

Bracelet now plays an important role in bridal jewelleries. From traditional pearl jewellery arrangement to an elegant platinum based jewellery set, bracelet is there in the scene. Earlier bracelet under pearl jewellery section was made only of white natural pearls. Along with the passage of time cultured pearl came into being and so does its use into pearl jewellery. Colour variants from pink to black also came into existence. With these changes in the pearl jewellery industry bracelet and its designs also got never before looks. Just have a look at the ranges available Carla Pearls. You will get varieties from a pink pearl to a black pearl variant. Again the use of other stones and gems like amethyst, jade, citrine, turquoise with pearls are there in the varieties available in the market. But for a special occasion like a wedding which comes mostly once in a lifetime the bracelet made of white round shaped pearls is a masterpiece. Platinum, gold and silver bracelets are also available in the market. Zirconia plated bracelets are also there in the jewellery market. The zirconia plated bracelets comes from a range of as low as to a maximum of $ 200 approximately. Depending on your budget you can choose anyone from them. In comparison to this, pearl bracelets are relatively costly. A simple Blue Candy made of round white pearls with oval blue turquoise available at Carla would cost you about £ 129. Other variants are also available in the market where the combination of different coloured and shaped pearls is showcased. For example one beautiful bracelet you would come across while having a look at Carla’s collection, named Miss Coco. It is a nice combination of oval black pearls with rectangular agate stones and brown crystal.

A bracelet, depending on its look, size and shape, can be used accordingly. Feminine looks in bracelets are always slimmer and sparkling in comparison to their masculine counterparts. Apart from that the bracelet range available for men comes only in metals, not in pearls. So, you cannot imagine pearl jewellery like a pearl bracelet for a groom. But a black or a pink pearl as the centerpiece is something imaginable.

Silver jewelry has been in existence since time immemorial. Though silver was ranked only second to gold, in its use for making jewelry, it is experiencing an all time high, in the last one decade, thanks to the ever-rising gold prices.

The 46thBangkok Gem and Jewelry expo, which concluded in September 2010, saw a huge number of manufacturers and exporters in silver. This was proportionately higher compared to the previous years, which indicate the growing demand for silver articles and jewelry. The major reason behind this demand is its versatility and affordability. Thailand is the largest manufacturer and exporter of silver, Honk Kong being the second and Italy being third in the world.

Silver can be worn with traditional and contemporary clothes and it be combined with various precious and semi-precious stones like diamond, ruby, sapphire or even zircon stones to give it a classical finish at a most reasonable cost.

An antique design necklace, bangles and a silver brooch can complement even an elegant chiffon sari. Or maybe a simple stone studded bracelet with zircon danglers will add that extra allure to a simple evening gown. The rage in indo-western clothes these days have increased the need to these highly stylish silver marcasites, pendants, ear and finger rings. Men are not left behind; they can carry themselves in style too, with , bracelets and cufflinks.

Contrary to gold, the color of silver and its rich shining hue compliments any skin tone be it fair, wheatish or dark, an apt design would always be a great vogue.

Similar to gold, pure silver is malleable and it has to be combined with copper at a certain proportion to craft jewels. consists of 925 parts of silver and 75 parts of copper, and its purity is hallmarked with 92.5 on each piece of jewelry.

A certain amount of care is required to maintain silver jewelry, failing which it could easily tarnish. A gentle wash with water and detergent is required after every wear. This could prevent it from dust and sweat, and make the color last longer.

Care should be taken, while buying silver jewelry. It is best to buy silver jewelry from authentic sellers to avoid being cheated with low quality ones with more alloy content. If you are buying in bulk numbers it is best to identify a branded and reliable seller. A best way to do this is to do a bit of research and identify a reputed one. Feel free to ask them to furnish details with regard to licenses and certificates, if you are importing. Also make sure they are transparent with their terms and conditions on supply and shipping.

Freshwater pearl bracelets come in many types and colors. The classic pearl bracelets usually have pearls 7.5mm in size and for bracelet length they are usually 7.5 to 8.0 inches in length. Our freshwater pearl bracelets are strung on strong silk thread and knotted between each pearl. Freshwater pearl bracelets are usually light colored pearls such as pink, lavender, white, cream, peach and yellow; however, some freshwater pearls are blackish or brownish in color. Pearl bracelets look best with small pearls ranging in sizes from 6.5mm 7.5mm, larger pearls such as 10.0mm or larger can be a little awkward. Some of our bracelets have multi colored pearl arrangements and some are multi strands. Quite a few of our bracelets have crystal roundels that separate at intervals. These roundels add sparkle to the bracelet itself.

Because of the many variegated shapes of freshwater pearls there are many variegated styles of bracelets as well. Freshwater coin pearls are a good example of unusual pearls. Stick pearls are also very interestingly shaped and make outstanding jewelry. These elongated stick pearls resemble sticks or twigs and can be drilled through its length or breadth to create a unique style. The stick pearls come in all the pearl colors including black. These sticks can be placed at intervals between one or more pearls to make a type of station pearl bracelet. We have a combo bracelet that has stick pearls, round pearls and coin pearls at intervals; some even have crystals added. Barrel shaped freshwater pearls make interesting bracelets also. These pearls are similar to drop pearls but are rounded at both ends. Here at Aloha Pearls these barrel pearls are usually strung with different colors such as lavender, pink and white. There are lots more to choose from such as the exquisite keshi pearls, better known as the cornflake pearls. These very thin flake-like pearls are made into necklaces, earrings and bracelets and they are shaped exactly like cornflakes. Potato pearls are another pearl shape we use to make outstanding bracelets. All these pearls come in many colors. Whether they are all the same type on one bracelet strand or mixed, they are all works of art and beautiful to behold.
