Introduction to Sterling Silver Rings

Silver has been known to mankind for thousands of years. In fact, the first silver mines appeared about 5,000 years ago, and silver has since become a staple in the jewelry industry. Lustrous and durable, it has dazzled kings and commoners alike, who started trading in silver. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans smithed the metal to create stunning jewelry. Sterling silver first appeared as a term in England as an alloy of silver and other metals. Today, this same alloy gives Sterling silver its legendary strength and durability. Since ancient times, Sterling silver has been principal in jewelry-making thanks to its luster and durability.
Sterling silver is characterized by a very metallic white sheen that effortlessly complements a variety of colored gemstones, including diamonds. And despite its mystical aura, Sterling silver remains a very affordable choice compared to gold and platinum. It is from this spirit that Gabriel & Co. has crafted a stunning collection of Sterling silver rings that are both stylish and suitable for every budget.

Choosing the Perfect Sterling Silver Ring

When choosing the perfect ladies’ Sterling silver ring for you, it’s important to think about style, occasion, handshape, and the ability to pair it with other silver fine jewelry pieces. When it comes to engagement pieces, a Sterling silver ring adorned with a shimmering diamond is an elegant and iconic choice. Classic designs, such as a solitaire silver ring, showcase the beautiful center stone which is, in itself, a symbol of endless love and devotion. As for casual wear, silver rings are naturally a great choice to add a touch of style and elegance without being too formal. You can choose from modern and minimalistic designs to express your personality and elevate your everyday look. When gifting a ladies’ Sterling silver ring, it’s always a good idea to pick a ring with a birthstone. This shows care and profound attention to the receiver, and the best thing is, 12 stones correspond to the 12 months of the year.
It's also a good idea to choose the ring that looks best on your finger. For long and slender fingers, you can wear thicker rings with bigger stones set horizontally across the band, to give dimension and balance to the finger. Shorter fingers, on the other hand, benefit better from thinner and more delicate rings with oval stones that visually lengthen the finger. To find your ring size, you can use a tape measure and refer to tables online, or you can visit any jewelry store for complementary ring sizing.
You can always complement your silver ring with a matching silver necklace and similar earrings. You can also unleash your creativity and opt for rose or yellow gold pieces for a striking contrast and an eclectic look that are sure to turn eyes.

Things to Know Before Buying a Sterling Silver Ring

When buying silver jewelry, it’s important to look for quality marks to assess its quality. The marks “925” and “Sterling” are the most used quality marks. This indicated that the piece is made of 92.5% pure silver. Well-known jewelers and brands, on the other hand, provide you peace of mind above anything else. After all, sterling silver is an investment, so we recommend selecting fine pieces of superior quality.
For people with sensitive skin, you can rest assured when wearing sterling silver. Sterling silver is less likely to trigger skin reactions compared to jewelry made of nickel and other metals. The majority of people find Sterling silver jewelry comfortable to wear all day long.
To keep your fine silver ring in pristine condition, we advise you to store it in a box or a bag, separated from other pieces. Regular cleaning with warm water and a gentle cleanser will keep the gemstones shiny and sparkling. It’s important not to use harsh chemicals to clean your silver jewelry.
