Most people become slightly puzzled when selecting rings. It's like a crossroad wherein they are undecided which path to choose, the silvery path or the golden way. Contrary to what is traditional, most individuals whether seniors or teens, rich or not, are choosing sterling silver rings. I would say that sterling silver has reached the pinnacle of its popularity in the last two years, so much so that people from all walks of life are seen donning them. There are quite a few reasons why the choice of sterling silver over gold, which is the symbol of prosperity, is quite prevalent these days.
For one, sterling silver is very reasonably priced. Comparing silver against gold you will be amazed that it is more often one-fourth of the more expensive piece. I once bought a ring for my sister who was turning 18, I wanted to buy a simple wrap around ring for her and scouted for one over the Internet. I found one 14k yellow gold with a tag price of 7 and an exact replica was also being sold that only costs . Your guess is as good as mine I purchased the sterling silver instead of the gold one, but the amazing thing is that I was able to buy her a set. What did I get: earrings, necklace, ring, bangles with matching designs for just 7, all of these cheaper than one gold ring.
Aside from being significantly cheaper than the original gold, sterling silver has designs that are more contemporary and trendy. Again probably due to the low production cost these jewelries are being seen in all shapes and sizes. The designs you can find always come in droves as compared to the limited options in gold. In reality your imagination is your limit when looking for the design in a sterling silver store which you won't readily find in a gold store and you would probably order from the jeweler to custom made your gold design.
Finally the most prevalent of reason why people prefer sterling silver over gold jewelry is that you appear to be trendy and modern if you are wearing silver jewelries. Its chic to be wearing multiple sterling silver rings on the fingers of one hand but you will be branded as flamboyant and a show off if you do it with gold rings. Wouldn't you rather be called chic and cool instead of pompously rich?
