Silver Jewellery- Stunning Styles For Different Individuals

Making silver accessories is a process that involves different stages from creating a design, putting it on paper and then crafting it into a bracelet, necklace or a ring. However, there are different silver jewellery styles that silversmiths incorporate in their designing in order to come up with beautiful pieces of jewellery. Below are some of the silver jewellery styles that you may come across when shopping for these jewels. Filigree is one such style. It is considered feminine, delicate and alluring.

This particular style is carefully created through intricate detailing in the form of a thin metal overlay finish. This is then twirled across the silver jewel surface for a light, woven effect. Diamond-cut silver jewellery style also creates a lot of interest among consumers. This style involves a diamond-cut, a special technique mostly used on this kind of ornaments.

With this technique, the surface of this metal is carved to allow light into the gaps created in the metal. The result of this specialized technique creates an impression that the metal is inlaid with stones. To add, the glittering effect attracts attention to the beautiful piece even from afar. Another technique is the unique silver jewellery made with this metal or gold powder. This procedure involves the use of metal residue created during ornament shaving and buffing to come up with delicate and refined designs.

The shavings from silver jewellery or gold powder are collected, melted at very high temperatures and then left to harden. They are reheated again at an even higher temperature to the point of liquefying. The outcome is a silky metal that can be fashioned into various chic delicate designs, either inlaid into or added to any silver jewellery. Textured technique is another form that can be used to design these beautiful ornaments. This style incorporates metal that has been cobbled, thumped and packed down also known as ‘textured silver’. This technique is used to transform the smooth surface of the metal adding impact and depth to any piece.

This kind of ornament is often informal in appearance while giving an illuminating, elegant surface detail. Silver jewellery with pave, or mosaic, detailing is another technique used in designing these glamorous pieces of ornaments. Pave detailing is mostly spotted along the band of an engagement ring. It is used to add some glimmer and shine when light falls on the ring, making it sparkle. Pave detailing often called mosaic detailing involves the use of little pieces of gemstones or metal to create an impression of overlay. This is done on the surface of a piece of ornament.

You can also find ornaments combined with gold in their designing. This technique is called bridge where the pieces of this metal are framed by rose goldfill. This is often placed either on top or around a gemstone. This kind of ornament is valuable and offers you the luxury of wearing both gold and silver jewellery at the same time. There are many other interesting techniques that silversmiths use to come up with beautiful pieces that you can also consider. The above mentioned are just some of the most common ones.
