A silver chain is generally white in colour when it isn’t tarnished. If the chain gets oxidised through contact with moisture, cleaning with a good phosphate-free detergent restores its lustre. Since ancient times, silver chains have been commonly used by men and women in countries like Peru, India, China, France, Poland, Mexico and many others. Men wore silver chains; women wore silver chains and filigree silver necklaces that are popular even today.
A silver chain can be worn either by itself or with charms or beads strung on it as pendants or forming a necklace. A silver chain may be made of pure silver, sterling silver (92.5% pure silver) or Britannia silver (95.8% pure silver). A plain metallic silver chain can be available in many designs, varying from a thin delicate string to a thick, bulky plate-like silver necklace or an intertwined two-strand silver chain.
A silver chain maybe accessorised with charms of different metals, materials or precious and semi-precious stones. The various materials used to create charms and pendants for a silver chain may include wood, glass, steel, gold, silver, bronze, etc. Wooden pendants for a silver chain may be in the form of beads or other designs such as crosses, flowers, rainbows, etc. These wood pendants strung on the silver chain are available in colourful hues like pink, yellow, green, orange, etc. may be used. These beads may be tiny and delicate, or large and chunky.
A yellow gold pendant can also be strung on a silver chain to create a two-tone effect. The metallic pendants of a silver chain can also be embedded with precious and semi-precious stones such as blue sapphires, champagne diamonds, green emeralds, red rubies, violet amethysts, etc.
Silver chains can be worn by men and women. A silver chain can be worn as a trendy accessory on denim garments, or as polished, sleek jewellery on an evening gown. It can also be worn with formal office wear. Truly, a silver chain is an integral part of any jewellery collection.
