What To Go For; Gold Or Silver Jewellery?
by Alaric Sowerby
Jewellery will always be desired. Selecting the items is all part of the fun of jewellery shopping, there are numerous to select from. When selecting jewellery, an important question is always, which is better: silver jewellery or gold? Everyone has varying opinions, but there are various things which can be considered when choosing between silver and gold.
The first thing to consider is price. At the moment, all forms of gold are at a high in price. This means it's costly to buy, but is also valuable to possess for reselling at a later date. Historically, though, silver has a higher price ratio of about 10:1 to gold. The vast majority of silver that is mined is utilized for industry. If demand for silver were to increase, it could cause prices to quickly increase.
The second thing to consider is complexion. Various skin types can appear better when wearing certain metals. You have either warm, cool, or more neutral tones. Warmer tones tend to be more yellow-colored, cooler undertones are usually bluer, and neutral undertones look good with either warm or cool colours. Designer silver appears finest on cool undertones whereas gold compliments warmer skin tones. Those with neutral undertones can wear either. It is very simple to find out which is best for you. Take turns holding a silver piece of jewellery up to your complexion and then a gold piece of jewellery. The one that brightens your complexion and stands out more would be the metal that enhances your skin undertones.
Another thing to think about is skin reactions to metals. With silver, there are several things to consider. Firstly, silver jewellery could tarnish easily and cause reactions to the skin. On the other hand, sterling silver is 92.5% pure, which is considered very good. Most people do not have an issue with modern day sterling silver because of the high purity level. Older silver alloys may not be as pure and contain certain metals that can cause skin irritation, this is something to always be aware of if choosing antique jewellery. 24K gold jewellery is recognized as hypoallergenic, any carats below that are alloys and can therefore cause skin reactions.
Deciding what jewellery to pick invariably comes down to personal choice. However, all these essential points are worth considering. It will make answering this question even easier!
