Silver has been regarded as a metal of value for thousands of years and with good reason. Its ductility allows the easy creation of fine jewelry and rings made from this lustrous metal have always been popular. Silver can be hammered, pulled and shaped into almost any pattern which is good news for lovers of this shimmering metal.
Silver rings are fashioned in an enormous range of finger jewelry. Signet rings, simply styled with perhaps a small chip of ruby or emerald will melt the heart, and make a lovely gift for a girl. What young lady would not treasure her very own shining ring personalized with her initials engraved thereupon. Signet rings have been known to be worn by the recipient for many years; proving the value of this wonderful present. Alternatively, friendship rings with a delicate chain from which hangs a minute charm will capture the moment and commemorate a special occasion. The gleaming silver of the friendship ring, flashing in the light, is a constant reminder to its owner of someone’s love.
As silver is so malleable, the metal can be filigreed producing designs as delicate as a butterfly’s wing. Silver rings of this nature need special care but their beauty and fragile nature are worth the extra time spent. A single, intricately fashioned ring on a beautifully manicured hand is a delight to behold. Class and style is produced by wearing one piece of jewelry. Lower, flatter patterns, less fragile but just as intertwined, are enjoyed by women of India, Turkey and the Middle East. These ornamental yet practical designs are more suited to the working woman and are increasingly being added to the range the West has to offer.
The availability and prettiness of silver rings encourages women to wear more than one on each hand. When doing so always blend plainer bands with the more elaborately styled items. A hand embellished with several highly ornamental creations can look too busy, which de tracts from the beauty of a single, well fashioned piece. Rather go for showing off the complex ring by surrounding it with simpler styles. The total effect is what you are going for and by trying on various combinations you’ll soon be able to see what goes and what suits your particular hand.
Delicate, small boned hands look overdone when weighed down with too many silver rings. Conversely, a thin band on a strong, big hand is dwarfed. This is a loose rule and fashion norms are meant to be bent. However, don’t stray too far from what looks good despite what may be super fashionable. If your hands look odd with too much bling then dial it down and see what fits. It’s important to wear what you feel comfortable with.
As silver rings are very reasonably priced you can afford to dress like a Turkish princess – all a glitter. If your tastes are more conservatively inclined and you prefer to wear one ring at a time then you can still take advantage of the broad range available. Why not own a different ring for each day of the week? Jewelry adds a little sparkle to the day and as carefully as you select your wardrobe in the morning, so too with jewelry. Do this and create your own sense of style.
