WHILE GOLD continues to
charm buyers, silver jewellery is having an intense fash ion moment this
festive season. With new products coming out of designer kitties, this
season will witness a celebration of earthy designs in sparkling silver.
FESTIVE TRENDS
Come festive months, the jewellery trend will swing towards a blend of ethnic and contemporary looks.Hoops and jhumkas will make a bold comeback, paired with both casual and traditional wear.“Silver jewellery is every young fashionista's go-to option; this year cubic zircons will help in adding the required design flair,“ says jewellery designer Sonal Sahrawat of Sonal's Bijoux.
Also, statement rings studded with raw stones, long necklaces with chunky silver pendants and crawler earrings will steal the limelight. However, if you are keen on flaunting the muchloved, desi-glam look, opt for silver chaandbalis and let your accessory be a conversation starter. Dress up or down with choker or breastplate neckpieces, drop earrings, hefty bracelets, studs, geometric-patterns and silver earrings with pearls and beads. According to Tarang Arora, CEO and creative director, Amrapali Jaipur, since the last decade, silver has gained tremendous acceptance due to its varied advantages. “One of the striking features of silver jewellery is the grandeur it offers which is quite on the lines of fine jewellery with its clear advantage over pricing. Fashionistas can now keep experimenting with more options for every festival by adding silver. It is available at a very affordable price.“
MAINTENANCE FACTOR
Ranging from trendy to workwear to contemporary; silver boasts of a pristine yet gorgeous charm. Adding a dash of élan to any outfit without looking over-the-top, silver jewellery needs some gentle care and handling to maintain its lustre and sheen. “Silver jewellery is a delicate, pretty addition to any en semblebut expo sure over time and constant handling can lead to discoloura tion. Main tain the beau tiful shine and mirror-like finish by using a mixture of baking soda, boiling water, and aluminum foil to clean your silver accessories. Polish them with a soft, clean cloth to make them sparkle! Avoid abrasive solutions when cleaning silver and consult a professional jeweller if you are unsure about cleaning your jewellery at home,“ suggests Monika Pal Sood, co-founder, Youshine.
Alternatively, you can keep your delicate silver jewellery in a loose drawer or in a jewellery box as it is not scratch resistant.Clean it regularly with a professional silver cleaner, keeping in mind that the colour of the metal doesn't come off. Natural oils from the skin also help diminish the tarnishing of silver jewellery; so wearing it frequently also prevents premature tarnishing.
SILVER VS. GOLD
Lately, market trends suggest that people prefer lightweight silver over gold baubles. According to Sahrawat, silver has made a remarkable comeback this year. Since it is more affordable than precious jewellery, one can indulge in different styles. Also, silver has a unique polish, a perfect contrast to that of the yellow metal.Today, most women prefer silver due to its pocket-friendly prices.“In the past, women preferred wearing gold jewellery, but silver is fast becoming a favoured choice. Silver jewellery has gained more attraction while the record hike of gold rates has affected customers' purchasing power. Moreover, the allure of silver suits Indian skin tones more than gold,“ suggests Sood.Well, we sure see some silver lining out there!
