Silver has for ages been one of the most popular and used metals in the jewelry industry. Due to its hardness (it is slightly harder than gold) and durability silver is widely used in production of rings, necklaces, bracelets etc. either as a whole, one piece jewelry item or as a setting for precious and semi - precious stones.
Being the whitest of all metals silver works perfectly in combination with vivid, vibrant opal colors. Sterling silver, which is a silver alloy, contains 92.5% of pure silver and it is the most used silver alloy in jewelry making. Silver can take a very high degree of polish and that can make a silver jewelry piece to look very appealing.
Silver opal jewelry is a perfect alternative to white gold opal jewelry. It looks very similar but it wears a much lower price tag.
Below are some fine samples of silver opal jewelry. There is much more of it in every jewelry store listed.
