Sterling silver jewellery is exceptionally popular. Sterling silver is a shiny, highly reflective metal that’s often creatively described as a ‘white metal’, which is highly sought after by people of every gender especially in regards to jewellery. Sterling silver is something that any person can appreciate and is up there with other metals, such as gold, as a must-have in any fashion connoisseur’s collection. There is no one reason for why sterling silver is as highly prized as it is, but we’re going to walk you through why you should consider purchasing jewellery made from sterling silver.
We really do love sterling silver jewellery UK wide. However, there’s often a perception that all silver is the same. Sterling silver jewellery differs from ‘pure’ or ‘fine’ silver. This type of silver is not very tough and too soft to be worn as an accessory; so sterling silver is made to compensate for this. Sterling silver is made from an alloy of silver (92.5%) and copper (7.5%). To be crafted into jewellery, silversmiths will craft and manipulate the sterling silver. However, while it’s easy to make parallels with blacksmiths, silversmiths don’t work with red-hot instruments. Instead, they work at room temperature and very carefully use hammers and other instruments to shape a flat piece of metal into something rather beautiful. Jewellery made from sterling silver can be very intricate since silver is such a malleable metal. This is why it is often combined with copper to create sterling silver – to give it a toughness that will allow the jewellery to keep its shape. However, other alloys can be used too, such as germanium, zinc and platinum.
Men can often feel like jewellery is not for them. They can either see jewellery as too flashy or not masculine enough. However, the reality is that there is most definitely the right type of jewellery to suit every man’s style. Mens sterling silver bracelets are types of jewellery that can suit all sorts of styles. Sterling silver bracelets are often worn to give an appearance of prosperity and wealthy. This is particularly popular amongst those who consider themselves professionals and who move in such circles. However, sterling silver bracelets can also be worn in a more subtle way, perhaps combined with leather. Those who move in more non-professional circles, or those who want to create a more casual aura about their appearance, often wear this. They can also be bolstered with plates that can be personalised to signify a special person, a special date, or even a positive message. The main thing to remember is that men can wear bracelets and they are not just for those with feminine tastes.
Men who are considering buying sterling silver bracelets should also consider buying a sterling silver chain. Along with bracelets, chains are one of the few sterling silver jewellery options that look both good on men and women. Chains come in all different sizes – from very light chains usually more associated with femininity, to larger chains often associated with the ‘bad boy’ image. The main difference is that men’s chains tend to have larger links, they are usually longer in their length and they are often made in a variety of different styles. Women’s chains tend to be less bulky and lighter looking. With this in mind, it’s very common to see men wearing sterling silver chains. This can create a really good impression as it demonstrates that you are comfortable with your masculinity. It’s often forgotten that men in the army wear metal chains with dog tags. Given this, there are clearly a number of good reasons why you should consider buying, either for yourself or a male friend or partner, a chain or a bracelet for men. But where do you go to buy them?
Many jewellery stores – both offline and online – are increasingly stocking men’s jewellery. However, many of these stores have been specifically set up with women in mind. But when you go online, you’ll find that there are numerous jewellery websites that are equally focused on men as they are on women.
