The season's hottest metal is nothing but cool- it's stylish, sophisticated silver! Silver's moonlit beauty is truly classic, and we do mean 'classic'- historians trace the first occurrences of silver jewelry to 6,000 years ago, when silver jewelry's matchless reflectivity was thought to grant purity and protection to those who wore it. Silver was revered in ancient Greece and Rome, where silver's natural, glowing luster was thought to protect the wearer against infection. Today, silver's unique affordability and natural malleabilty make it a favorite of artisans, who are creating silver jewelry in a dizzying range of cleanly gleaming styles, making it a perfect, timeless choice for every jewelry-lover.
