Tips for Choosing a Sterling Silver Necklace

Silver is exquisite, functional, and deserving of being worn. Wearing your silver jewelry is one of the finest ways to maintain its cleanliness. Wear creates friction, which keeps silver shiny and stops it from deteriorating. 

This is your official jewelry guide to style silver, so pull out your silver necklaces and get styling. To get the most out of your silver jewelry, keep reading to discover six easy styling tips for necklaces.

• Admire Your outfit Choice

To make your silver jewelry pop, consider the color of your clothing. While silver complements nearly any color, its light tone contrasts particularly well with darker shades.

Silver is the most reflective element, and when polished, it exhibits a bright, light, and airy color. It reflects 95% of the light spectrum, resulting in exceptional shine. Consequently, lighter clothing might cause silver pieces to appear less prominent.

We recommend wearing red, navy, dark, or dark purple or making a statement with a sterling silver necklace for women.

• Stack Your Silver Jewelry

The enjoyment factor of stacking jewelry is equal to that of layering clothes. To express your unique style, try experimenting with various lengths, textures, and forms. 

You can layer long and mid-length necklaces, finishing with a choker to draw attention to your face and frame it with your favorite pieces. For silver jewelry like bangles and bracelets, mixing multiple pieces adds a delightful jingle-jangle as you move your arms and hands.

Layering your rings is an excellent method to combine silver pieces. You can use rings from other fingers to create stackable sets. Gather all your jewelry and experiment with different combinations to find a style that suits you without feeling overdone.

If you're not sure how to layer your necklaces, you can opt for ready-to-wear pre-layered sets.

• Know the Art of Mixing Metals

Mixing silver and gold was once considered a fashion mistake, but this notion has changed. When combined correctly, mixed metals can look fantastic together. While gold is often viewed as more prestigious, the ancient Egyptians valued silver more highly than gold.

You can blend various pieces made of silver, gold, or rose gold. However, it's best to concentrate on one area of your body for combining metals and avoid mixing them across multiple areas like your fingers, wrists, and neck simultaneously.

Consider wearing a necklace with a silver chain and adding a gold pendant. You can also layer necklaces of varying lengths and different colored chains. Bangles and bracelets look stylish when combined with different metals. Alternatively, you can purchase stunning necklaces with a mix of two or three metals.

• Choose a Statement Piece

Some jewelry pieces naturally attract attention and draw the eye. Statement pieces, for example, are often excellent conversation starters. Similarly, a unique or antique pendant can have a similar impact.

Moreover, when wearing a bold item like a statement necklace, opting for more understated earrings is advisable. You can also attach a pendant to your favorite silver chain, but make sure the chain is delicate so that the pendant remains the centerpiece.

• Sometimes, Less Is More 

Layering and experimenting with different colored metals can be fun, but knowing when to stop is crucial. You don't want to look like you have randomly combined everything in your jewelry box. 

When wearing bold colors and an edgy outfit, opt for fewer pieces and more delicate sterling silver jewelry. Conversely, if you plan to wear a lot of jewelry, choose monotone clothing to let your accessories take the spotlight.

• Opt for Premium-Quality Silver

It's often tempting to buy jewelry from fast fashion stores. While these pieces can be attractive and inexpensive, they usually only last for one occasion. “Fast fashion jewelry” not only tends to look cheap, but it also fades quickly. 

Additionally, when mixing metals, it is important to choose high-quality gold and silver. Low-quality silver is usually visible and becomes even more obvious when paired with low-quality gold.
