Sterling Silver Necklace and Pendant

Origin Silver falls among the first five metals discovered and used by humans. Originating from the Anglo-Saxon word "siolfur”, silver was first used as an important antimicrobial agent before antibiotics were available. From 4000 B.C.E. to now, the defining characteristics and purpose of silver have changed, although it continues to be a valuable metal. Today, it is mostly known for its aesthetic appeal.

This metal is also known to carry several spiritual connotations. It is believed that silver is a symbol of purity, hope, unconditional love, mystic visions, and kindness. For thousands of years, silver has been widely used to create tableware, figurines, decorations, silverware, and mirrors. However, it is most popular when incorporated in jewelry pieces, such as Sterling Silver Necklace.
