What To Look For When Buying Silver Charms
Posted by andrew in Silver Jewelry Trends on November 17, 2010
A lot of women wear charm bracelets as statements of their personality. These bracelets come in different materials, adorned with pendants and trinkets of all types and sizes that reflect the wearer’s taste. Silver is one of the most preferred materials for charm bracelets and silver jewelry in general because its elegant color never goes out of style. It also has the advantage of being less expensive than its close competition, gold.
Pure silver is soft and malleable, making it ideal for designing and fashioning intricate jewelry, but unsuitable for heavier items such as charm bracelets. Sterling silver, on the other hand, is mixed with other metals such as copper to improve its hardness, making it the material of choice for many pieces of jewelry, including charm bracelets. It is composed of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper, which makes the metal less prone to damage without dulling its shine. The value of the resulting silver jewelry will ultimately be based on the craftsmanship.
These indicators can be checked when buying off the counter, but what about online stores? Online shops can afford to sell their products for a lower price than jewelry stores since they don’t have to pay for store space and other overhead costs. Those who want to buy sterling silver charms from online sources should look for reputable sellers that offer money-back guarantees on their wares. This is the only way to be sure of the quality of these items. It’s easy to get carried away by a beautiful piece of jewelry and throw caution to the wind, but before you pull out that credit card, do your research and make sure to examine the charm (and bracelet) thoroughly. You’ll be glad you did when you pass that piece of jewelry on to your granddaughter as a family heirloom.
