Well
polished silver is a shiny white metal
that reminds one of moonlight. Silver is
a cool color. A silvery color resembling
reflective surfaces at night when moon
beams hit them. The lake at night for
example.
The
light that silver jewelry casts on the
wearer is light moonlight. Lighting her
features softly. In a very flattering
light.
That
said, silver can make a woman look her
most beautiful.
Silver
is a cool color. It enhances other cool
colors beautifully. Silver brings out
the best in black, blue, pure white and
other true colors. If you look great in
black, you should have a jewelry
wardrobe full of silver jewelry. At
least have a few pieces of sterling
silver jewelry

as these will enhance practically
anything you wear.
If you
look good in black, blue or fuchsia
outfits, you have cool skin tones. You
WILL look amazing in anything silver.

If you
have cool skin tones, anything silvery
would look good on you. Decorate you
home with silver accents as the silver
would subtly enhance your beauty in your
home. Drive a silver car, carry a silver
bag. Basically surround yourself with
silver items or silver trimmed things
for that cool, flattering light.
On the
other hand, if you have warm skin tones,
what do you do? If you look great in
earth tones, but terrible in black or
blue, chances are that you have warm
skin tones. Gold jewelry would be a
better bet. Like these at
http://www.gold-online.org/ . You
would look way better in gold
accessories instead. You are better off
avoiding large, plain, purely silver
jewelry as these would probably clash
with your coloring.
Still,
even if you have warm skin tones, you
can get away with some types of silver
jewelry. Just pick silver jewelry that
is intertwined with gold in the design.
Or you could easily carry off silver
jewelry that is really small. In fact,
you can look fabulous wearing silver
jewelry set with stones with warm earthy
colors. Try wearing your silver set with
amber for example. Like these
http://www.buy-gemstones.com/amber-necklaces.htm.
Wear silver if it is used to set
something in a warm color that flatters
you.
While
polished silver is a bright white,
silver tarnishes easily. With time,
silver turns black. Constant polishing
keeps it white and shiny, but some
pieces look better as they tarnish. I
used to make jewelry. some of the silver
beads in my collection have rather
intricate designs. The etched parts
tarnish first, turning black, showing
off the design beautifully. Adding
character to the bead. Those beads look
best when only the surface is polished.
A thorough polishing so that even the
etched parts turn white would result in
beautifully white, shiny beads without
much character.
Let
your intricately designed silver jewelry
tarnish slightly, to give it more
character. More so than keeping it
perfectly polished at all times.
Silver
is an interesting metal used in jewelry
making. Thanks to its price, it is often
used to set semi-precious stones and to
create more adventurous designs. The
artisan can afford to take more risks
when working with less expensive
materials than the costlier ones. It is
one of the basics you need in your
jewelry wardrobe.
