Impact of Silver Jewellery to the Fashion World and Health

Jewellery is a great way to give your favourite clothes a little extra swagger. Besides of other types of jewellery silver jewellery plays a main role in the modern fashion world. Silver rings, bracelets and necklaces are mostly used in fashions. Silver jewellery matches with any kind of outfit you choose. I think that's why most people keep silver stuff with their fashion collections. Although they are less expensive than gold and diamond jewellery.

Other than fashion world, silver used in medical treatments. Simply it has healing properties and health benefits. In ancient Egyptian times, some believed that silver possessed religious and spiritual significance, and it was often used during worship. Originally considered much more precious than gold, silver did not become available to the middle class until the 16th and 17th centuries. Silver has a long history of antibiotics and sterilization, with many women and men wearing silver jewellery to stave off infection, cold/flu symptoms etc. So think of a lil bit, it very difficult to find a jewellery which holds healing effects, mystical powers and meantime give an extra fashionable look to your outfit.

Studies are inconclusive and much is linked to the power of belief and mental suggestion, but there are distinct health benefits to wearing silver jewellery. As a metal, silver has significant health benefits that have been used across cultures for centuries. Silver has a proven track record as a powerful antimicrobial agent fighting infection and aiding in cold and flu prevention wound healing, and more. Silver also helps with internal heat regulation and circulation. Many have reported improvements in energy levels and balance in moods after wearing silver,  as its natural properties may offset outside electrical disturbances, improve circulation and overall body temperature balance, and help maintain cleanliness and immunity.

For those that are sceptical, consider that researchers at the University of Southampton have proven that wearing a specific type of silver ring can help alleviate some symptoms of arthritis in the hands. The benefits include not only helping to reduce pain, but also preventing hyperextension in the finger joints, which is common in those who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis.

One brief word of warning — though silver has many health benefits, there are those who are allergic to silver. For these individuals, wearing silver can have the opposite effect, causing a rash or making your skin change colour. If you suffer from a silver allergy, you’ll want to look elsewhere for health benefits in jewellery.

Sterling Silver

Since early history, “silver” went by many different names. “Sterling” became part of silver’s common name. Sterling silver has now surpassed gold in its popularity as a metal base for jewellery due to a combination of price, value, and appearance. Ultimately abbreviated to "Sterling" the name now refers to the highest grade of silver metal.

Once considered more precious than gold, pure silver is a soft metal with a white, lustrous hue. In addition to jewellery making, silver is used in a wide variety of industrial and decorative applications.
