When you are out to shop for silver earrings, we must conclude a couple of things: you would like to buy silver because you prefer its colour, it’s more economical and versatile than yellow gold and silver has outstanding designs which really stand out from the crowd.
Choose sterling silver

When you buy rings, check out a few things about its design
There are lots of beautiful, intricate designs out there but not all of them are durable or specifically wearable. Some rings look lovely, but they will cause you many problems if your ring will continuously get stuck in clothes, shawls and may damage delicate materials too.

Check out the stone

No matter its precious or semi-precious, go for a stone that has a lovely colour that mirror your personality. Many people go for silver rings which feature the stone which best fits their astrological sign, kua number or has healing attributes regardless.
Check out the form and make sure it fits your fingers
Some forms of rings can really enhance the length and beauty of fingers, while other forms are not suggested to be worn by those having shorter or chunkier fingers. Always experiment and try on different shapes and forms to see which style fits you the best.
