Sterling Silver Charms – A Buying Guide to Sterling Silver Charms

Sterling silver charms are a wonderful and unique addition to any collection and extremely popular collector’s item. Available in a wide variety of designs (from animals to common household items) these charms can reflect the individual personality of the collector. Hallmarked 925 for purity, sterling silver charms can be passed down through generations.

Sterling silver was first used in Europe during the 12th century although the term “sterling” emerged in England during the 13th century. The origins of the term “sterling” could have come from many sources but most likely grew from terms relating to coinage in Europe. Sterling silver became especially popular in the United States and Europe between 1870 and 1920 and was used for everything from flatware to jewelry. The 925 hallmark refers to the purity of the silver used (fine silver is too soft to produce most objects so it is typically mixed with copper to give it added strength).

Sterling silver charms are produced today – allowing you to create or enhance your current collection. It is a simple and beautiful addition to any home or a wonderful present. When beginning your collection, it is important to remember a few simple tips. First, as the purity of silver used decreases the risk for tarnish and corrosion increases. Sterling silver charms may require polishing over time to maintain shine. Second, store your sterling silver charms in a wrapped up or in a  separate container when being moved or transported to protect the surface from scratches – the high shine of silver can be damaged if stored with other items.

Sterling charms are readily available online as well as in many home decorating catalogs. Search for sterling silver hallmarked 925 to ensure high quality and not silver plated charms which can tarnish and turn green over time. These sterling silver charms can be found online through SilverAndGold.com and they offer free assistance and help.

gold or silver juicy couture charm bracelet?

if you were going to get a charm bracelet, would you get gold or silver?
i personally like silver but i saw the silver and gold juicy couture bracelet and thought if i bought one i would buy gold, i don’t know why. what would you choose? would you choose gold because u mainly like wearing gold? would you choose silver because you mainly like wearing silver? or do you think when you look at the two bracelets that gold would look better on you wrist? vise versa. and do they have gold and silver for all the charms?

I have a gold juicy charm bracelet with 6 charms right now and im planning on getting a silver bracelet as well, so i have a gold and silver and can match the one that goes best w/ my outfit. I would get gold, because it’s more sophisticated, but silver goes well with everything. It really depends on what you like. Or, you can get both, like me! They do have gold and silver charms too, but i’ve noticed that there are a little more gold charms than silver.
