Why Silver Jewellery Should Be a Staple in Your Collection

Silver jewellery is popular. Sometimes it's more popular at Camile & Stone than gold. Simply, some people just prefer the colour.

While most women will choose a colour metal and then wear mostly that colour for their lives, others can mix it up. If you’re not sure what your colour is, we’re making the case for silver here today.

There are so many timeless silver jewellery designs that deserve your attention, but what makes silver jewellery special? We’ve done a deep dive into the silver pieces below. Find out more now.

Silver Jewellery: Who’s it Right For?

Stuck on whether to buy a gold or silver necklace? While we don’t believe that jewellery is only suitable for some people, there’s some who might prefer to buy silver jewellery and other pieces.

First, people with cool undertones tend to be told to choose silver pieces. Skin colour can impact the most suited jewellery pieces for you. However, if you have a warm undertone but prefer the colour of silver, then don’t be put off by what people say!!

Good pieces, like sterling silver rings and silver earrings, are also an investment. So, sterling silver jewellery is right for people looking to invest. If you’re looking for good pieces that will last a lifetime, then sterling silver is a great choice. On top of sterling silver, there is also white gold which appears silver in colour. However, white gold is a slightly softer metal which is something to be aware of. White gold is also not hypoallergenic.

Camile & Stone uses the highest quality sterling silver in all our pieces. On the hunt for sterling silver bracelets or other pieces? We’ve got top-quality designs just for you.

How to Style Silver Jewellery

If you’re new to sterling silver jewellery, or you don’t wear a lot of jewellery, we can help. Styling sterling silver jewellery, like sterling silver necklaces, can be done easily. We’ve broken it down for a simple guide to styling this colour of jewellery.

Colours

Silver goes well with lots of colours. Neutrals, like tan, black, white, beige, and other natural palette colours will work well with silver jewellery. You might consider adding silver chains or white gold necklaces to a tan outfit for a delicate touch.

We also love silver with navy blue and royal blue. The jewellery stands out against these colours and it reminds us of starry nights! Burgundy and purpler reds can also look fab with this colour jewellery.

If you want to wear sterling silver jewellery with other colours, a good rule of thumb is matching undertones. So, if the colour of your outfit is warmer, it's probably not right to wear silver with it. Cooler tones, like pale pink and blue, look best with silver.

As always though, you can choose to ignore this rule!

Occasions

Silver jewellery works well for many occasions. We particularly like it for evenings, date nights, and formal parties. It works with sophisticated colours, like navy blue and black, so it's a good pairing for these events.

One thing to remember is that silver is a durable metal which means it's also good for everyday wear. If you’re investing in silver, then consider how a piece might be dressed up or down. Then your pieces are as versatile as possible!

Mixing metals

Contrary to what you’ve always been told, there’s not really any issue mixing metals. If you have gold and silver pieces you want to wear together then…wear them! 

To prove this point, designers are actually now choosing to mix metals themselves. Rose gold is paired with both silver and gold in designs. This mixing adds a modern touch to pieces that we just love.

You can also mix silver, gold, and rose gold with other materials, like pearls, precious gemstones, and glass. We love these pearl huggies in silver!

The Best Silver Jewellery Pieces to Buy

So, what should you buy?

First, think about the pieces you already have. Are you a silver novice or is most of your fine jewellery collection silver already?

Basics

If you’ve got no sterling silver jewellery pieces, then there’s some staples we suggest. These are:

• Plain silver hoops - pick the size of the hoop based on what you wear most often!
• A plain silver chain - this can be layered, or dressed up, and you can even add a pendant or charm.
• Diamonds or gemstone studs - with a silver base these look very elegant
• A silver ring - this one depends on the kind of ring you wear. Stacking and plain rings are good for everyday wear but if you want something more glamorous, choose mossainite styles.
• A tennis bracelet - we love how elegant these are!

Jewellery essentials will see you through most occasions. They also withstand trends. For example, tennis bracelets are going to always be a good piece to own because they’re classic!

Fun pieces

If you’re a silver lover already, there are some cool trends you might want to add to your collection that look great in silver.

First, we love a chunky silver cuff, like this sculptural Molten Cuff. It adds something different to your outfit, and it can be dressed up and down. Add a cuff like this to your formal outfit to add something a bit different. You can also wear it with your favourite chain and a beaded bracelet for an edgy everyday look.

Silver ear climbers, like our Leaf Sapphire Climber. We think ear climbers are probably here to stay because of how great they look. We like this leaf one because it's sort of ethereal! It would be perfect for a bridesmaid or wedding guest outfit.

Our last suggestion is a fun statement ring. We love this Moonstone Signet style in silver. Signet rings are a really cool way to add something stylish and a little different to a look. You can stack them with other stacking rings for a bolder everyday look.
