Silver Bracelets

Although the value of gold may still be on the increase as the world's most popular precious metal, we should not be so soon to forget about one of gold's closest cousins, silver. Gold jewelry may be dominating in the line of fashion but silver jewelry is just as good. Silver bracelets most especially have that mark of desire because they have a few advantages over their golden counterparts. There are certain outfits, fabrics, and colors that gold just does not measure up with. Silver on the other hand, is a different matter entirely. Silver bracelets are just as favorable and flashy as the gold ones and silver does literally go with anything because it is a neutral tone. Silver bracelets can be worn with casual dress or with formal wear. They can be worn with blue jeans or heels and they compliment any color of the rainbow and then some.

Silver bracelets come in a variety of designs and patterns accented with charms and beads and stones, or just as a simple chain. They can have the look of real, linked chain or they can be as delicately crafted as a flower petal. Silver bracelets and all silver jewelry really is best worn by those who prefer not draw a lot of attention to themselves but still will want to be subtly noticed in a more intimate setting. Silver has the ability to present a modest appearance and draw little attention. Like their golden cousins, silver bracelets do come in the bangle style. They come in herringbone or linked chain. Most of the bracelets made today come with a lobster claw clasp instead of the spring-ring clasp that use to come with them. The Natives of the west make silver bracelets accented with turquoise, which can add the perfect finishing touch to any western style ensemble. Silver cuff bracelets are also a common accessory to the western horse rider. One of the most common traditions in bracelet wearing is to add several bracelets at a time to one arm to create the "layered" effect or to create the illusion that one is wearing one large cuff bracelet.
