Sterling Silver Jewelry

Over the holiday season, I read more articles claiming that sterling silver jewelry was on the top of everyone's wish list. Now with the holidays well behind us, people are right back at it again. This time, to shop for themselves - and isn't that way more fun? It seems that sterling silver jewelry and diamonds (as always) are the number one items for the post-holiday season as well.

Lets say you are one of these people who crave jewelry (almost) as much as chocolate. You no longer have to worry about purchasing that thoughtful gift for your Aunt Gertrude whom you've only met once, and you just deposited some of your wondrous Christmas booty into your bank account. Not only that, but everywhere you turn there are sales abound! Oh glorious, glorious sales!

But what if the one thing your heart truly desires, is a fashionable piece of sterling silver jewelry? A piece that has charisma, uniqueness, and is bound to make friends and acquaintances alike ask you incredulously, "Where on earth did you find such a thing?!" The ultimate sterling silver bauble.

Well here's where it gets tricky. If you do happen to find a place that sells sterling silver jewelry, you are undoubtedly going to run into some snafus. One thing you should always question is whether or not you are getting your money's worth. All sterling silver jewelry should be made of .925 sterling silver, which means that 92.5% of each piece of jewelry is comprised of fine silver. The remaining 7.5% is usually comprised of copper, which gives the piece enough strength so that it is not too flimsy to mold.

Secondly, the design itself can produce a small problem for the conscious shopper. We are all familiar with Tiffany's sterling silver jewelry and Tiffany's designs and, lets face it, we all want each and every piece of their jewelry with a red-hot desire. But lets not forget that there are other jewelry retailers out there featuring new, fresh, and unique designs that will not force you to sell your first-born into child labor. Why buy a second-rate piece of imitation Tiffany's jewelry, when there are so many options out there on this glorious thing we call the Internet? My suggest to you -- savvy shopper -- is to do your research! Hold out until you find that perfect piece of unique jewelry, that puts Tiffany's prices to shame!. So hit the web, and see all there is to offer! Remember, there is nothing cooler than the non-conformist jewelry customer!

Kudos to you!
