In recent years silver jewelry has witnessed a significant resurgence in popularity as it came to be associated with everything bohemian, artistic and casual chic. Unlike gold ornaments with their more conservative overtones, jewelry made of silver tends to offer wearers a chance to make a more relaxed, informal style statement.
The rise of E-marketing portals have led to a massive explosion in online jewelry stores, giving up and coming designers a chance to present their original designs to the public. The comparatively low costs of these designs have proven to be very attractive to customers of all ages; both men and women experimenting with a variety of silver rings, bracelets, pendants, piercings, necklaces (In Danish navnehalskæde) etc.
The best part about silver work is that there is something for everyone. While Celtic, Mayan and Native American designs are highly popular among buyers, you can pretty much get any kind of motif with a little bit of effort. Various versions of Celtic knot-work in particular are popular designs for rings and bracelets.
Pagan designs of various sorts are another hugely popular theme/ motif. You can choose from various designers’ interpretations of the Living Tree, the Ouroboros (or Uroborus, commonly depicted as a serpent or dragon eating its own tail representing among other things eternal life and the idea of primordial unity), the pentagon, shamrocks, spirals and many more.
Silver also provides a great setting for various stones and design elements such as Mother of Pearl, hair work etc. Mother of Pearl designs in particular makes for extremely elegant and subtly stylish ornaments. Silver Necklaces (In Danish halskæder sølv) helps bring out the distinctive blue, green, pink, or white iridescence that is the characteristic feature of Mother of Pearl.
Amethyst and silver is another great combination. While less common than turquoise and silver work, silver pieces set with Amethyst has a distinctive otherworldly appeal that is hard to resist. Amethyst as a stone is long believed to healing and soothing properties and is believed to aid in meditation. Turquoise of course has been a long favorite in combination with Silver and continues to be a popular choice, especially in the form of multi-tiered earrings and necklaces.
Finally, silver jewelry shaped as various astrological symbols and set with birthstones continue to be popular gifting options, especially on birthdays. Add-a-Charm necklaces and bracelets are some other popular silver gifting ideas.
