Gold is classic, but the cool shimmer of silver adds a lovely dimension to your jewelry wardrobe. Try a pair of everyday silver studs, a gleaming pair of dangles, or pick up a silver necklace to add to your layered look. These eight pieces are the starting point of a silver collection that you’ll have for years to come.
Plus, silver is the most affordable fine metal, meaning you can try out new styles at a lower price point.
Micro Aurora Diamond Stud
Diamonds and silver? It’s one of our favorite pairings. This delicate stud is the prettiest everyday earring, and the price point can’t be beat.
Dapple Bracelet
Layer a silver bar bracelet with your go-to gold chains for a mixed metals look. Add in a cuff or a bangle along with a few chain bracelets to create movement in your bracelet stack.
Diamond Drip Pendant
The cool tones of sterling silver can take on a watery, shimmering look, particularly when crafted in a silhouette that mimics the fluidity of water droplets.
Large Helios Hoops
A statement earring in silver brings the fun and whimsy to your jewelry collection. You can go bigger than you might go with gold, and it’ll catch the sparkle of sunlight and candlelight alike.
Pebble Necklace
A dainty silver necklace with a single diamond could be the foundation of any necklace layering combination. Add a shorter chain and a longer pendant for a varied look.
Herringbone Hoops
Add a chunky pair of hoops to your jewelry box, and there’s a good chance you’ll rarely go more than a day or two without wearing them. The way a silver hoop looks next to a black top? Perfection.
Astra Signet Ring
A classic signet ring — but in silver. It feels fresh, shiny, and unexpected. Put it next to a yellow gold ring on your ring finger for a mixed metal styling moment.
Nova Ring
This ring is a Corey Egan best-seller, year-after-year. When crafted in sterling silver and diamonds, it is a more affordable alternative to solid gold, and with an extra shimmer.
How Do I Stop Silver Jewelry From Tarnishing?
The best way to prevent silver jewelry from tarnishing is to wear it! The more you wear your jewelry, the more it’s exposed to your skin’s natural oils, and that can help slow down the tarnishing process.
However, if your silver jewelry isn’t being worn regularly, then it’s best to keep it in an airtight pouch or bag. It’s a reaction with air and the environment that causes silver to tarnish. Protecting it from this exposure will slow the tarnish forming.
If your jewelry does tarnish, then the quickest and easiest way to clean it is to use a silver polishing cloth, which can remove years of stubborn tarnish.
