Silver For Summer 2008
David Yurman Silver Ice Crossover Inspired Sterling Silver Circle Pendant
In Summer 2008 and well into Winter 2009, silver is in vogue. Then again, silver is timeless. Silver jewelry was popular from the time of silver's discovery in ancient times and it will stay in demand well into the future.
Makes sense in the modern world as sterling silver is a precious metal that is so much more affordable than platinum to which it bears a striking resemblance.
Platinum and diamonds are the epitome of luxurious glamour. They are what you might expect Hollywood royalty to wear when they triapse down the red carpet. Because platinum and diamonds are so expensive that only those with the means can afford them, they are associated with the wealthy who wear nothing but the best, rarest, more stunning jewels on the planet.

Guess what you can get their look too. With silver and cubic zirconia. A pair of silver earrings studded with cubic zirconia, when worn, looks like platinum with diamonds, yet it costs a fraction of the price. It still is the real thing. At least silver is. If you want to be picky, you can go for the more affordable gemstones like garnets in the place of rubies and blue topaz instead of sapphire and it still is the real thing. Real precious metal, that is, silver, and real gemstones.
This summer, start off with sterling silver earrings. These are classics which you can wear this season and go beautifully with Fall and Winter's offerings. You can wear them for years and even hand them down to future generations.
Stock up on silver chain necklaces. They are everywhere this season. The look for summer is to stack up many sterling silver chains around your neck to spice up any outfit.

Next season, these silver chain necklaces will still be in vogue. You just wear them differently,
- 1 thin silver chain with next season's pendants
- layer a short necklace with a long one for a look that is more subtle
- just a single chain on its own around your neck
- wrapped around your wrist as a bracelet
- an ultra long silver chain necklace as a belt
