Ever since its discovery, silver
has always been a valuable metal. Its popularity
has grown steadily throughout the ages as it possesses
a unique ability to be able to keep up with the
current fashions of the time. The most notable use
of silver is its beauty and appeal as an item of
Jewellery. Silver has been used in Jewellery since
the ancient Byzantine, Phoenician and Egyptian empires.
Fine silver (99.9% pure) is generally too soft for
producing Jewellery. Hence, the most popular form
of silver today is sterling silver which is actually
92.5% silver. Sterling silver is popular because
it is more durable than pure silver yet maintains
its beauty. Silver is harder than gold, but softer
than copper. Silver Jewellery is long lasting and
very cheap as compared to white gold and platinum
but is as good, if not better, in attractiveness
and style.
Silver Jewellery comes in a wide variety of styles
and textures. The lustrous white color and malleability
of this precious metal, and its widespread distribution
have made silver a practical choice for Jewellery
adornment in diverse cultures. The usual silver
seen on Jewellery is usually highly polished and
reflects light beautifully. However, silver also
comes in a variety of finishes such as rhodium which
gives it the characteristic of white gold with its
silver but slightly darker finish.
In India, Jewellery making has always remained a
part and parcel of different cultures, playing an
important role in different phases of history. Different
regions of India have Jewellery-making styles unique
to them. Be it the fine filigree work from the states
of Orrissa and Andhra Pradesh, the delicate art
of enameling or meenakari from Jaipur or the famous
Kundan setting of gemstones in gold from Delhi,
India has always been the front runner in Jewellery
manufacturing.
