Gemstone Silver

Gemstone silver, is one of the most attractive forms of silver jewelry you can buy. Though by itself, silver is an attractive metal, gemstone silver truly displays the beauty and practicality of silver jewelry. For example, if you have a beautiful silver chain, it is true, that is a really nice look. But if you add a silver drop to that chain - that has a semi-precious gemstone featured in the drop - your chain takes on a whole new dimension that is richer, and much more unique and beautiful.

Silver is quite lovely by itself, but if you add gemstones like onyx, garnet, amethyst, rose quartz, jasper, or pearl to your jewelry, you are really doing something significant. Gemstone silver jewelry has a magical and ethereal look to it. In addition to its beauty gemstone silver is also very sturdy. It will last you a long time if you care for it properly. Even though you can wear your gemstone silver in the shower and in baths and pools, this does not mean that you should. Though you can easily clean and repair your gemstone silver jewelry, you will not be able to completely restore it if it becomes too scratched. You can usually restore it to about 80 - 95% of its original beauty. Whereas if you take good care of it, you will probably always be able to restore your silver to 100% of its original beauty.

Another great quality of gemstone silver is that it can easily from day to night time wear. This makes gemstone silver ideal for the woman of today. Modern women often work outside of the home, and sometimes have evening social obligations after work. Silver jewelry has the unique ability to look both casual and formal, especially if it features beautiful gemstones. This is not something you can say about most gold jewelry.

Finding gemstone silver can be a little tricky though, if you do not know anything about gemstones. It requires a little bit of knowledge to make sure you are getting a good stone in your jewelry.

There are many forms of silver jewelry that are set with acrylic stones, that are designed to look like gemstones. Though this type of jewelry can be attractive, the acrylic might not be as sturdy as real gemstone silver. Most real gemstones have been a part of the earth for hundreds of years, making these stones very durable.
