Silver
is about 1/75th the price of gold by mass (as of October
2008). Over the last 100 years the price of silver and
the gold/silver price ratio have fluctuated greatly.
The cost of creating silver ornaments (making charges)
is much lower than making charge of gold ornaments and
also the silver section offers a much larger variety
in terms of designs. Jewellery designers all over the
globe have been creating fantastic verities of silver
jewellery that are now catching more attention of the
masses. The workmanship and finesse of silver jewellery
also matches or increases its gold and platinum competitors.

Due
to price advantage, advancement of technology
and craftsmanship, the demand of silver Jewelry
has been considerably increased.
The disadvantage in purchasing silver jewelry
is, it requires more care as silver has a tendency,
after a long time, to darken and tarnish. This
can be prevented or removed by keeping silver
jewelry polished and cleaned with baking soda
and hot water. Also silver ornaments are not easy
to resell comparing to gold ornaments. |
