Fall Jewelry: Embracing Color & Texture Reading In praise of Silver 2 minutes

For too long, gold has been crowned the ultimate standard of beauty and luxury. And yes, gold is lovely—warm, radiant, timeless. But silver deserves its place in the spotlight. Silver is not “second best.” It is not “less than.” Silver is powerfully elegant in its own right.

Silver has a cool brilliance that gold can’t match. It reflects light with a sleek, modern glow—perfect for minimalists, for bold design, for those who love refinement without excess. It feels cool on the skin, calming and effortless, while its pale luster pairs beautifully with every tone and style.

When I create, I often test my designs in brass to see if the forms and textures work. But when the piece is made in silver, it comes alive! The shine, the crispness, the balance—it’s as if the metal completes the design. Silver doesn’t just wear beautifully; it transforms what it touches.

We wear gold because society has told us it symbolizes wealth and status. But silver carries a quieter strength. It is modern, versatile, and enduring—used not only in jewelry but in technology and industry, driving innovation forward. Its value is not just cultural; it is practical, real, and rising.

So let’s celebrate silver. Let’s stop treating it as an understudy to gold and recognize it for what it is: sleek, luminous, and endlessly elegant. When you wear silver, you aren’t settling—you’re choosing sophistication.

Silver is not second. Silver is essential.
