Silver And Its Uses In Jewelery Making

Jewelry is a very important part of any woman’s wardrobe. Buying jewelry can be exclusive, separately from buying cars and homes, many people state jewelry to be the third most expensive product that they have bought. Well everyone today here knows what jewelry is. and why is it used by the women and even men sometimes. Jewelry comes in various shapes, sizes and variety like there are bracelets, bangles, hoops, earrings, head jewelry, necklaces, brooches, and tops. All of this stuff is personal adornment, used by the people to make them look beautiful. No matter wherever you go in this world, you would see that jewelry is present everywhere and its use can be dated quite back when people made this stuff out of bones and teeth of animals but as times progressed shiny and precious stones were used in the creation of jewelry. Today there are different types of jewelry present in the market as the price of pure gold and. Pakistani gold jewelry online is a perfect example of astronomical prices of gold in today’s world not everyone can afford it, hence, an alternative to gold jewelry is also present so that those who cannot afford pure gold can still get jewelry. The various types are silver, artificial gold, gold plated, plastic, gem made, titanium, precious metals, and pearls. In each of these different types of jewelry different kind of materials are used to make them, however, this article will only deal with the silver jewelry and how it is made, that is, what are the different materials which contribute to the manufacturing of silver jewelry.

The most used natural material in the making of silver jewelry is titanium as it is the fourth most abundant material present on the earth and is easily available and at affordable rates as compared to other raw material which contributes to the manufacturing of the silver jewelry.  Most silver jewelry sets in Pakistan are made from titanium covered in oxide. Another advantage of using this material is that it can be covered with the layer of an oxide and this layer of oxide can change the color of the titanium and along with that another plus factor is that it is quite lightweight and resistant to moisture, so one need not worry about his or her sweat damaging the jewelry piece they are wearing.

The second most used material is niobium.

The biggest advantage of this raw material is that it contains even less percentage of nickel as compared to the titanium, however, it is quite heavier than the titanium, which as a result restricts its use in manufacturing big pieces of jewelry. Still, like titanium, different colors can be added to niobium using oxidation as like titanium it can also be covered with a layer of oxide without any problem.

The third material is low nickel steel, the biggest disadvantage of this metal is that it is quite expensive even in its raw form, so the cost of production increases and at the time of sale not many customers are willing to offer such high price for a piece of jewelry and unlike titanium and niobium, it cannot be covered with an oxide layer to change its color.

The fourth material used is PTFE, which is a non-stick substance and is quite flexible, hence, jewelry with a complex and unique design is often made of this material and along with that, it is cheap and long-lasting. The fifth material is pure silver itself, however, obtaining pure silver is an expensive process, so in the end, the problem is the same, that is, the cost of the jewelry rises and not many can afford such high price, so the demand for pure silver also never reach high as people who can afford silver with ease often opt for gold jewelry instead as it has a much premium feel apart from silver or any other metal. Silver is a good alternative for jewelry when gold is not available or when it is being sold at very high prices. It has a very shiny gleam to it when exposed to light it radiates in sunlight but it lacks that yellow shine of gold that is beloved by so many. No matter how much the silver market advances, gold will still always remain the most desired precious metal and people will always want their jewelry made by gold.
