 When pros
and cons of silver and gold are discussed, it can go for ages. Some people vote
for the high class and nobleness of gold and the others praise the young nature
and airy laced beauty of silver. Nevertheless, the third party is still in
search and the subject of discussion, whether gold or silver better to wear in
jewels, is still under discussion.
In
accordance with the historic data gold was first used in the jewelry industry
while the chemistry highlights the stability and solidity of silver as the
second metal yielding to gold only. The economics states on the higher
difference between the costs for these two noble metals. And today fashion also
faces the dilemma which metal is better to choose, the cold glimmering silver
or warm gold.
Gold, its advantages
for those who prefer it
Over many
centuries the gold was associated with power and wealth. Gold is the metal to
relate to kings, conquerors and merchants. Jewelers respect the gold for its flexibility
when processed, solidity and glittering shine. Gold is perfectly matched with
various precious stones and gems and can be enjoyed for many years as a jewel.
Apart from
the attractive look, gold can boast with some healing features. It is widely used
in homeopathy, in treatment of heart and joint diseases. The Oriental study
attributes the positive «Yan» energy to gold, as the power of the Sun and
strong men, vivacity and good emotions and active movements. Thus, gold is
recommended in jewelry for those who suffer from permanent fatigue, low blood
pressure and depression since the gold gives the power and energy of the Sun to
the one who has it. They say that gold accessories are designed for mature
solid people while the younger generation looks appropriate with other jewels.
However, it’s habitual to present thenewly married with golden accessories. The couple exchanges with golden
rings as the sign of strong and eternal love; gold jewelry is gifted to beloved
and folks with the wishes of prosperity and sympathy.
Gold is
ideal for people falling into the category of spring-fall type of looks with
the complexion from tender peach hue to the golden beige, light eyes or green
eyes with hazel gloom, hair of the tender nuances of the honey to vivid red.
The shades of gold can be expressed from yellow to pink and white.
Silver, its
advantages for those who prefer it
Silver is
the second precious metal yielding to gold only in regards to stability and
price but not beauty at all. It is not feasible to define which metal is more
gorgeous since silver looks like platinum in appearance which is more expensive
than gold. Jewelers often work with silver making whole accessories ad also it
is used to frame precious stones and gems but there is a restriction. When framing
stones like pearl or amber, the silver favorably sets off their color and adds
more value to them, though it is the wrong metal to game with bigger diamonds
of fancy color.
As compared
with the gold, silver is known for higher healing characteristics. It perfectly
disinfects the drinking water saturating it with its ions which is wholesome
for the human health. Not without reasons the Christians refer to silver when making
charms either under icons worn on the neck with peculiar inscriptions designed
to protect the owners from diseases and adverse factors. In Oriental countries silver
is the negative energy «In», a female power, night moon and fertile lands. This
precious metal is good for people permanently experiencing overdrive and irritability.
The silver has the sedative and quenching effect which is sometimes good for
the expressive youth.
By the
appearance type silver accessories are appropriate for people of winter and
summer type of complexion with porcelain-looking skin with some rouge, dark-blonde
hair, or with some grey hair.
Silver is distinguished
for its importunity and modesty. Silver massive bracelets, earrings and chain
necklaces worn in layers do not look ridiculous or vulgar as it is when such
jewelry is made from gold. However, silver is rather the accessory of the daytime
since it ideally complements the business wear or every day wear. Moreover, the
design of silver jewelry is beautiful and looks as lacework not yielding but
sometimes excelling those from gold. The myth that silver is cheap metal among
the noble materials to be used to manufacture bijouterie is just the myth.
Silvernicely goes with white diamonds, though.
The brand «Hot Diamonds» from England
offered collection of accessories made from .925 silver incrusted with the
scatter of diamonds with the price range as hundred times as less of the
similar golden rings, earrings, bracelets and pendants. Silver is the great
alternative for the admirers of lavish jewelry.
There is
something that can make people opt for this or that metal, in particular
allergy reaction. No person suffers from allergy to pure metals. In most cases the alloy matter when they are added
to precious metals to make them lighter as nickel. When copper, aluminum,
chrome and other metals are added, and then fancy colors or special rigidity is
achieved. So, you’d better purchase the expensive «alloy» with the safe
palladium and avoid the cheap and hazardous trinkets with poor quality coating,
or trace latest achievements in the sphere of metal blending by the famous
designer brands. So, the Spanish jewelry brand AS&AS creates unique jewels
combining gold and silver in spite of saying they are not compatible. Flexible
silver shows the smooth and laced work while the gilding is like the sun beams
on accessories.
So, what to
get for you, silver or gold jewel? It is the everlasting choice between them.
But again, when getting any jewelry, people tend to estimate how the lavish
golden or silver masterpiece evokes positive emotions but not how it is useful
for healing features. And the point is that any jewelry should bring joy and
satisfaction when wearing but not keeping in the box.
