Silver necklaces for women
Silver is a highly versatile metal and jewellery designers love to work with it to create stylish and elegant silver necklaces for women. We have chosen silver chains and necklace collections from jewellery designers who showcase a passion for sustainable and ethically sourced materials, handcrafted and aesthetically excellent pieces and above all, originality. These designers value quality over quantity.
There is a variety of silver chain styles for women in our collections, ranging from fine-round to smooth-serpent and chunky-curb chains, which create interest. However, most silver necklace designs today are delightfully unisex, with larger link chains, innovative earphone necklaces, and engravable disc pendants, all being gender-neutral.
Choosing best-quality silver chains
To choose the silver chain that is best for you, consider
♦ The material: Hallmarking and certifications
♦ Chain link style and size
♦ Chain length
Purity standard for silver chains
925 silver or sterling silver is the internationally accepted best material for silver necklaces and chains as it's more durable than 999 pure silver.
Is a sterling silver chain made of real silver?
Yes! Sterling silver chains are the real deal.
99.9% pure silver or fine silver is too soft to be used in jewellery making. Instead, sterling silver, which is an alloy of 92.5% pure silver and other metals is used in jewellery making. Other silver hallmarking standards used in designer silver jewellery are the German 835, Scandinavian 720 and so on.
