Silver chains

Silver chains

— pure silver is a lustrous white metal that is resistant to oxidation by water and oxygen. In jewelry, it is usually used in an alloy with copper or nickel. This material costs much less than gold, which is why it is considered more “democratic” and less status; however, the use of silver is often justified for reasons of style. It is also important that silver products in most cases are suitable even for those people who have irritations and allergies from prolonged skin contact with gold. And many simply like this metal more than gold.

Note that silver chains can be plated in the form of gilding, giving them a resemblance to gold items. Such chains are cheaper than gold, but the layer of gilding is usually very thin and can wear off over time. Silver without gilding usually has a classic white colour.
