Not all that glitters is gold… sometimes it’s silver! Contrary to the setup popularized by the Olympics, schools and other award-giving institutions, silver holds a special charm of its own and should not merely be thought of as some other precious metal that plays second fiddle to gold. In fact, all that one has to do is take a quick peek at the online catalogs of websites that have a business on wholesale sterling silver jewelry and one would easily be enthralled by the beauty of these shiny little silver trinkets.

The use of silver as jewelry goes way back in time because sterling silver jewelry was used by the ancient Greeks and Romans as thin stamped plates for their necklaces and adornments for their clothing. Some were used as headdresses and tiaras, earrings, nose rings, bracelets and bangles.

Silver was rarely used for inlaid gems and precious stones. In ancient China, silver was more often used for the traditional jewelry compared to gold. Silver was gilded to protect it from tarnishing and was used as emblems and symbols of social status.

The good thing about silver is that it is relatively cheaper than gold but it can be crafted into various designs that can sweep you off your feet. Silver being cheap is not enough reason to make it just always second next to gold. In fact, today it is already considered as one of the most common choice for jewelry because of its simplicity yet elegant beauty of its own.
