silver ring

Silver rings are not only stylish and sophisticated jewelry for twenty-first century women. Even in ancient times, mystical properties were attributed to metal, and the fair sex tried not only to decorate themselves, but also to protect them from the evil eye and all sorts of misfortunes.

Silver will never weigh down the image, it will not set an unnecessary tone - there is nothing excessive in it at all. Jewelry made from it will suit both young girls who want to keep lightness and flirtatiousness, and mature women who want to look luxurious and noble.

The characteristics and some features of silver only work as a plus:

• in comparison with gold, this metal has a lower cost, however, it looks expensive and beautiful;

• allergy sufferers can wear silver jewelry without risking health risks;

• cleaning jewelry is a dreary task, but silver does not require special care products, and some methods of processing it allow longer

• keep its original appearance;

• thanks to the tricks of designers and style variations, silver rings can become an accessory for any woman, no matter what style she adheres to.

In addition, both the girls' best friends - diamonds and semi-precious modest stones - are perfectly combined with silver.

Regardless of whether you are purchasing a ring for yourself or as a gift, before buying you need to try to learn a few simple but very important rules.If you stick to them, then, first of all, you will not have to lament about the quality of the jewelry, and also doubt how the ring suits you. That is why all recommendations should be conditionally divided into aesthetic and practical.

First, you need to say a few words about the visual component, namely, how the jewelry will look on women's fingers:

• owners of short fingers should refrain from the desire to buy a wide ring - visually, this will make the length even shorter. It is better to make a choice in favor of those models that are decorated with elements stretched along the finger;

• for those whose fingers are small and thin, you can pay attention to models with large stones or to sets of rings that are worn on one phalanx;

• but chubby hands, massive models will only make it heavier. The ideal option for them is triangle-shaped rings and asymmetry in design:

• in those cases, if there are some skin flaws - age or any other, then wide rings with large stones are designed to distract from them.

An important role in the aesthetic sense is played by shades: when choosing a ring with a stone, you should mentally compare it with the color palette of a woman's wardrobe. And a simple ring without unnecessary decor will go to those girls who prefer miniature brooches and thin gold chains - the combination will be amazing.

Having dealt with the styles, you can move on to a less interesting, but most important criterion - determining the quality of the metal.

Most people know: the highest quality silver - 925-th test. But how do you make sure the metal is really as good as the sellers claim?

There are a couple of tips for determining this right on the trading floor:

1. A way for those who are not afraid of numbers. In any branch of the bank or on the website on the Internet, you can find out what the price of silver per gram is today. Further, in the store itself, you can make the simplest calculations, namely, divide the cost of the jewelry by its weight. If the price is identical to the one set by the bank, or lower, then there is a high probability that the ring has significant flaws or is not made of silver at all. Please note that the price includes the work of both the jeweler and the designer.

2. Method for kinesthetics. Real silver heats up very quickly. Therefore, it is enough to rub the ring in your hands for a few seconds, and then touch it with your lips or attach it to your wrist. Hot? Congratulations, this is not a fake! True, not every salon or store will allow such an experiment.

3. A way for the lazy. The simplest method for determining authenticity is the absence of marks on the body and clothing from a silver product. If suddenly, after compression, or as a result of friction, a speck remains, not to mention dark stripes - alas, this is a low quality metal.

4. A way for everyone. Large jewelry stores or boutiques with a name never contact unverified suppliers and do not pass off consumer goods as a precious metal. Therefore, it is worth choosing rings there: the cost will not be low, but you will not have to sprinkle ashes on your head after a couple of weeks.

5. And be careful: there is no 585-proof silver.

And some tips on when not to try on rings to avoid size incidents:

• do not go to the jewelry store in the morning - after sleep, your hand always swells a little. It is better to go shopping in the late afternoon;

• do not wear rings if you are very cold or if it is hot outside. In the first case, the fingers will be thinner, in the second - thicker;

• do not leave the trip to the store for later if a hearty dinner with alcohol is planned;

• do not put on the fitting in your schedule after going to fitness or dancing - for sure it will seem that the arm has become much wider.

Even experienced shopaholics can get confused by the variety of models of silver rings: even if models with stones are excluded from the list, the assortment will remain more than extensive. In this case, we are talking about jewelry with inscriptions, engraving, patterns and various symbols. And each of the options has its own flavor.

So, even the most ordinary rings, despite their simplicity, are distinguished by their grace and aesthetics. Most often they are chosen by young girls, wishing to emphasize femininity. At the same time, the shape of the product may differ: the phalanx can be decorated with an exquisite ring in the form of a crown, a rose, or an openwork with an intricate pattern. Infinity sign - the decor that has been in the top for many years is also very popular and is offered in different variations.

If you have to make a present to a woman who has entered an elegant age and appreciates chic, then there is every chance to conquer her by looking at an old silver ring. Vintage is always in fashion, and this is its paradox.

Models with black agate (perhaps the stone of the most luxurious color), as well as with Swarovski crystals - a must-have of every lover of accessories, also look very impressive. In addition, these rings will perfectly complement almost any style.

A separate conversation is rings for two. Ironically, silver has become almost as preferred for lovers as classic gold. Silver models for a couple look stylish, discreet, sophisticated. Wedding or wedding rings can be traditional - without decorative elements, or decorated with small stones. Another indisputable plus of this metal is that such an acquisition will be affordable for young couples.

Popularity records were broken by rings with the unusual name "week", or "typesetting". The essence of the jewelry is simple: seven rings (like seven days of the week), as a rule, thin and graceful, which can be worn on both hands, on one, and even on one finger - this is the trick, although the choice remains with the owner of the accessory.

The number of rings can vary from three to seven, although there are also double patterns. This also applies to the color of the metal: although modern girls prefer monochromatic sets, there are combinations of both gold and silver. There are also imitations of the "week": relief models that create the illusion of many rings.

By the way, if you cannot find a set, do not despair: in any jewelry store, pick up similar simple thin rings with different patterns and combine!
