Silver Charms For Dazzle And Sparkle
By Shiran Cohen on Jul 21, 2009 in Jewelry
Many women decide early on in their life if they are a gold charms and jewelry person or a silver charms and jewelry person. While there are no real rules as to what color jewelry you should wear most women try to match their skin tones. With silver charms and bracelets there is less concern with matching skin tones since they are not worn up near the face where this is more important.
Silver charm bracelets and silver charms are beautiful on individuals with cool skin tones, however silver charms can also be worn in combination with gold colored charms on the same bracelet. Silver and gold together can make a great option for all types of skin tones.
Generally women that tend to look best in mauve, plum and burgundy shades of lipstick and blush are going to look best in silver jewelry. Silver charm bracelets and silver charms look great on those with dark skin tones as well since the silver really reflects the light against darker skin. However, interestingly enough, silver can also look very stylish on fair skinned people as well, especially if they are wearing darker blues, purples, greens or reds.
Silver charms and charm bracelets draw the eye to their movement, making them a terrific accent piece for an evening on the town or a day at work. Since charm bracelets are always in fashion, there is never the concern that you will be out of style when wearing a simple or highly decorated charm bracelet.
Silver jewelry as a whole is very easy to keep looking beautiful. Sterling silver charms will not tarnish rapidly under normal wear and use and are not easily stained by most common household products. Typically the most that would be required is a quick rub over with a silver polishing cloth to bring out the sparkle and shine of silver charms.
Never clean any type of silver jewelry, especially silver charms and bracelets, with any type of cleaning solution unless specifically for silver. It is also very essential to avoid scratching the surface of any of your silver charms or the bracelet itself with rough or abrasive types of cleaning implements like brushes or cleaning pads.
As a precaution it is recommended to remove all silver charms and charm bracelets, as well as other silver jewelry such as rings, whenever you are using any type of chemicals or compounds. This will prevent any chemical reaction with the silver that may result in tarnishing or discoloration.
The best option to care for silver charms and charm bracelets is to keep them in air tight bags when the jewelry is not being worn. Smaller zip lock bags are terrific for storing silver charms, plus bracelets can also easily and safety be stored in these types of bags as well.
