Next only to Gold when it comes to being malleable or ductile, Silver is the third most costly metal for jewelry making (first being platinum and second being Gold). So when it comes to buying jewelry, customers seem to have a clear winner between the two. Hence this jewelry competition is often won by the former one. Although the reason for gold’s win has seldom to do with its mechanical properties. People refrain from buying silver when it comes to heavy investments, as they consider the metal somewhat lowly to gold. But the truth is, Silver leads on many fronts as far as its jewelry items are concerned, and proves to be a better choice even in case of long time investment. So let’s have a look at the 6 benefits of buying silver jewelry, which might make you choose a silver bracelet over a gold one from next time on.

 

Head or Neck Pain

Silver jewelry like silver earrings and bracelets are often lightweight. Consequently, they could be worn for an extended period. On the other hand, gold jewelry is heavy as compared to silver, and wearing it continuously or for a longer period could cause neck or back pain. Wearing heavy gold earrings could damage the ear lobes too.

Silver is resilient and hard to damage the metal. While gold is comparatively soft, and prone to warping, gouging, and bending. So if you are one of those people who can’t afford to pay extra attention to their jewelry items, then Silver can help your case. Being durable and strong, silver jewellery can be perfect heirloom pieces that you can treasure for years to come. Nothing like a beautiful silver necklace or intricately designed silver bangles and earrings, that can be passed on to your generations to come.
