  • Is silver jewelry right for you? I know a lot of people that love silver and prefer it over gold. I also know people that HATE silver jewelry. I'm some where in the middle. I love silver as a metal but don't like it for jewelry use. The tarnishing factor on silver kills it for me. I get it's easy to polish and clean but I just don't want to worry about it. Let me know what you think.

    If you put your silver in a baking dish lined with foil, cover the silver with baking soda and then pour boiling water on it, it reverses the oxidation reaction and gets rid of the tarnish immediately. It sacrifices the foil which takes the tarnish instead. Fish your jewelry out with a fork and rinse under cold water. It'll look like new.

      I recently was going to switch to gold and realized nah fuck that, silver all the way!
      Edit: I did go the gold route. I realize the sun hits gold in such a beautiful way, almost nothing like it. But overall, silver has more shine to it when it's not super sunny out, and I still prefer silver. I got into white gold, too, but it kind of just looks like stainless steel to me. Not as dark, but nothing special in my opinion. I would not purchase more white gold.

    To help reduce tarnishing buy pieces you know you will wear everyday without taking it off, even in the shower(showering with it will not hurt it) When and if you take it off be sure to put it in a Ziploc or Ziploc style of bag. Make sure to get all air that is in the bag and clip the seal very good so know for sure it is real properly sealed. All of this will greatly reduce the problem of tarnishing. NOTE: Wearing it everyday day like a chain around your neck(in my case) will keep it from tarnishing ensuring shiny and bright appearance as it was intended to be.

The tarnish is no problem if you got a polishing cloth made for silver and I actually enjoy polishing my piece and seeing how much more shiny it is after wards.

    Most of my pieces are sterling silver. I do like the looks of it. I wipe it with a white cloth when I take it off and I have some pieces that are 20 years old and they still look nice. There is some tarnishing with them but they still look really nice. The tarnishing does add some interesting looks to the piece. I kind of like the small amount of tarnish they do have. It is something you have to take care of over time. It requires more maintenance than gold but it isn't bronze which is a total pain in the back side to keep looking nice. I have a few pieces of hand crafted bronze jewelry, bracelets, and I have to clean them every week to keep them nice looking. Silver I might have to do something to it once a year, if I wipe it down after use.

    silver is a great metal I believe it's the most reflective precious metal. the elephant in the room is really the tarnish. the tarnish seems to compound so better if the piece is cleaned regularly. for a white metal I would go silver or platinum over white gold as you would have to get it replaced over time. yellowed-white gold is not a good look. It all comes down to taking care of your jewelry. keep up the good work!

      Argentium is tricky in a few ways when it comes to soldering, annealing and polishing. This is from someone that works handmade jewelry. Wonderful silver alloy when worked properly. The price hovers neck and neck with sterling and fine silver bullion. I'll be working with it soon. I cant wait. Its supposed to be brighter than platinum when polished correctly. Figaro chains is what I'll dabble in when I do Argentium.

Then I didn't know why it does that since i haven't worn it awhaile(2 years) now I know. I don't want ot invest in slivers anymore rather White gold and solid 18k or 24k only. All that money I spent on Slivers I could've bought valuable jewelries. Just waste money. I might just take the stone out from my sliver bangle and throw the bangle away.

    Silver jewelry, fine jewelry is expensive. But cheaper compared to gold, and if we base everything on scrap value. We all are being ripped off. I bought a tennis bracelet 7.5" in length by 5mm set with white sapphires for $70; the scrap value is guarantee less than $20 dollars, and a Cuban link bracelet in 7.5" by 8mm with pavé set white sapphires for $160 dollars with an estimate scrap value of less than $20. Do I feel ripped off for paying $230 dollars for less than $40 dollars worth of silver, yes I do. Do I regret buying them, yes I do. Do I know that $230 dollars could have gotten me 11.5 ounces of pure silver bullion at let's say $20 per troy ounce, yes I do. However, the caveat being that Swarovski sells a tennis bracelet in steel with glass stones for $160 dollars, and other sellers sell BRASS tennis bracelets with gold plate and CZs for $70-100 USD, and similar Cuban link bracelets again in BRASS, gold plated pavéd with CZs selling for $100-200 dollars. For something that is literally disposable, or putting your health at risk by buying Mystery Metal (cadmium) bracelets from Wish it is not only stupid, but real-real rip off. Do I love white gold and diamonds, I do. Was I looking to pay $3-5k for a tennis bracelet in 14k white gold and 2mm diamonds, and a Cuban link bracelet in 14k white gold with pavé set diamonds at $20-30k. Hell no, their scrap value is worthless, and it is a complete rip off. Am I ever buying, silver jewelry again? No, I got the the look it was a 1 time purchase, and never again. Do I know that it will tarnish. Yes I do, did that dampen my mood. Yes, it did. Did I see a ton of Haute Joallerie with diamonds set on oxidized silver, or oxidized white metals, or rhodium plated black. Yes, I did, and it looked lovely, so I accepted the fact that they will eventually oxidize to a beautiful shade of dark.

    To help get rid of tarnish just do 1 cup boiling water to 1/3 cup of baking soda. In a bowl covered with aluminum. Leave the silver in the bowl of boiling mixture for about ten minutes. Basically reverses the chemical reaction of tarnishing, making your silver super shiny.

I have never taken it off ever (even during showers, exercise and sleep),and it still looks like a mirror. It has the mark and says 925 Italy on all the clasps. I have never polished it, so why has my chain never tarnished?

    Gold is meant to stay in bars at its highest concentration. Oxidation in silver occurs mostly when it is machine stamped and not hand made because although it has a 925 stamp...that doesn’t mean it’s even 925. All of my jewelry is hand made and only silver and also rhodium plated. People make the mistake of keeping silver on in the shower. Yes, the playing costs a bit but only here in the states. I don’t know what the obsession with yellow gold is to be quite honest. It is a commodity. When I wear my chains, it’s all under my shirt and for me...just me. Gold is given in my culture in “guineas” or coins, or perhaps on small bars as wedding gifts. We do not wear them. It is the last course to cash in on when things go bad, and then it is meant to sell...not to show off.

    I like watching channels like yours but Im so tired of hearing "pure this is too soft for this" its always been a lie from jewelers to make more money off selling the impure blended stuff and making more shitty pieces like 10k gold (40% gold) which shouldn't even be allowed as you're just buying 60% cheap materials and still paying a gold premium and being told it's an investment. Pure silver is amazing to see in person especially in rope chain form or as a nice raw chain link. The rare white shine it has compared even white gold is just unbeatable. Sadly everyone thinks of that darker sterling silver when they hear of silver and then go for white gold when they should be getting platinum or pure silver instead.
