Pure silver or what is known as fine silver
is very soft in its original form and thus is not preferred by the
jewelry industry. This is primarily because it is unable to go through
the crafting process without scratches and in most cases cannot take the
weight of the gemstones cast in them. The best option therefore for
silver jewelry is sterling silver, which is an alloy of 92.5% pure
silver and 7.5% other metals. Sterling silver earrings are a favorite amongst almost every woman. These are available in varied sizes and goes with almost every attire. Even if the earring is a western design, it does go well with the Indian garment. These earrings can be crafted as studs, hoops or danglers. Indian sterling silver earrings are usually treated to give an oxidized finish. This is preferred as it gives the earring an ethnic and rustic look. In fact women in India prefer the larger and chunkier earrings that are adorned with gemstones as it goes well with the traditional Indian clothes, being the Salwar Kameez and Sari. These earrings maybe big in size, but they are not too heavy for the ear lobe. Most commonly these earrings contain stones such as moonstone, pearls, amethyst, etc. If you wish to gift someone a piece of jewelry and gold is beyond your budget, then sterling silver jewelry is the next best choice. Apart from the Indian chunky earrings, there are smaller dainty ones that are crafted into various shapes. These shapes include that of dolphins, varied hearts, cross, birds, moon, stars, the zodiac signs, etc. By the end of the day it is all about preference and personality of the wearer. ~ author Karishma Bajaj.
