Silver Necklaces - Chains & Pendant Necklaces - Fraser Ross

Often you will hear people say that they are a ‘silver’ or ‘gold’ person. What they really mean is that they prefer the colour silver over the colour of yellow gold. A silver necklace is very close in colour to a white gold necklace, slightly less in weight and considerably less in cost.

The real reason the majority of people would choose a silver chain over a white gold chain is simply the expense. Most people couldn’t tell the difference just by looking at them and if the silver chain is well made, it will last just as long as a gold chain will.

Sterling silver and fine silver do however tarnish with time. This is actually a chemical reaction between the silver and sulphur compounds found in the air or even in perspiration. The reaction causes some of the silver to be converted into silver sulphide, and the colour of the silver becomes slightly yellowish. As the tarnish progresses further with time, the yellow colour darkens and eventually will become nearly black.

Fortunately, it is pretty simple to remove tarnish and restore the necklace or bracelet to looking brand new again. Tarnishing isn’t a ‘problem’ with the quality of the jewellery. The Queen has some magnificent silver and her staff have to polish and clean it regularly to remove and prevent tarnish. I’m sure that every piece of her silver is the best quality money can buy, so don’t blame tarnish on the jewellery, blame it on the metal itself.

We stock a wide range of sterling silver chains in many styles, all of which can be made to any length. This allows you to have the design of your choice made into a bracelet, anklet or silver necklace to the exact length that fits you perfectly.

In addition to our silver necklace chains, we have silver bracelets in all the same styles, so you can mix and match to create a matching set. Our sterling silver charm bracelets have been chosen for their open style links. These are typically long curb, cable and belcher chain styles, and the open links allow for easy fitting of the jump rings to hold your charms in place. The belcher chains are most suitable for charm bracelets, and the smaller width chains have more links than the larger width chains per inch. The more links, the more choices for attaching charms, and the B3 is our most popular chain for people who want a sterling silver charm bracelet.

With a range of over 4600 charms (and growing) order a number of charms and a silver bracelet and we will send you a beautiful silver charm bracelet made just for you and ready to wear. We are happy to offer the same service with our solid gold charms and gold bracelets.
