Silver vs Gold Jewelry: Which Should You Choose?

Silver vs Gold Jewelry: Which Should You Choose?

Choosing between silver and gold depends on your style, budget and how you plan to wear your jewelry.

Sterling silver

Bright and cool-toned, sterling silver is more accessible. It can tarnish over time, but polishing restores its shine. Tiffany & Co. is famous for its silver icons.

18K gold

Gold does not tarnish and keeps its value. 18K gold contains 75% pure gold. It comes in yellow, rose and white.

Which suits you?

  • Cool skin tones often favor silver and white gold.
  • Warm skin tones often favor yellow and rose gold.
  • Mixing metals is modern and stylish.
