Silver has been prized for centuries, not just for its beauty, but for its timeless appeal and versatility. And in the world of permanent jewellery, it remains one of the most loved metals by both artists and clients.

If you’re considering investing in a permanent piece, here’s why sterling silver might be the perfect choice, and what you need to know about wearing, styling, and caring for it.

1. What Makes Silver So Special?

Silver is a precious metal known for its clean shine, gentle lustre, and adaptability. While gold often steals the spotlight, silver is the quiet classic. It's  elegant, understated, and effortlessly cool.

In the context of permanent jewellery, silver is:

  • Lightweight and comfortable for daily wear

  • Budget-friendly, making it accessible for first-time clients

  • Timeless, with the ability to suit all skin tones and styles

2. Is Silver Suitable for Permanent Jewellery?

Absolutely! When we use sterling silver (that’s 92.5% pure silver), it creates a durable, secure piece perfect for long-term wear. It’s a popular choice for clients who want a minimal, modern look that still carries meaning.

We always use high-quality sterling silver chains in our fittings, and select styles that are strong enough to hold up to daily life, but still feel delicate and refined.

3. How to Care for a Silver Permanent Bracelet

Like all fine jewellery, silver does need a little love.

To keep your silver looking fresh:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals like chlorine, perfume, or heavy cleaning agents

  • Rinse with warm water and mild soap if it’s looking dull

  • Gently polish with a soft cloth from time to time — your natural skin oils will do most of the work in keeping it bright

    The good news is, if you wear your silver piece every day, your skin’s natural oils will help keep it polished and bright.

4. Does Silver Tarnish?

Yes. All real silver will naturally tarnish over time, especially if it’s not worn regularly. But this is normal and completely reversible.

Tarnish is just a reaction with sulfur in the air  and a quick polish will restore the shine. We also offer complimentary in-studio cleaning for our clients, so your piece stays as beautiful as the day it was welded.

5. Why Clients Love Silver for Their First Piece

We’ve noticed many clients choose silver for their first-ever permanent bracelet or anklet. It feels easy, effortless, and wearable and makes a gorgeous base for layering with other metals later on.

And if you’re torn between gold and silver? Mix them. It’s incredibly on trend , and our latest collections make metal-mixing look deliberate and beautiful.


Silver is more than just a colour choice — it’s a statement.
It’s quiet luxury. Sentiment with subtlety.
And when it’s welded into place with intention, it becomes something that’s truly yours.
