Silver-Fashion

Since humans first discovered shiny metal and sparkling stones, jewelry has been a popular way to win a spouse, reward a friend or just show off your wealth and good taste. Still true, except that Overtstock.com has removed the wealth requirement, allowing almost everyone to enjoy fine jewelry.

Necklaces remain popular ornaments and silver jewelry is always popular, among men as well as women. Less costly than gold or platinum, but no less lustrous or beautiful, Overstock.com features fantastic jewelry in every precious metal.

Pure silver is too soft for a good silver necklace; the most common alloy is sterling silver--92.5 percent silver (also called 925 fine silver) plus 7.5 percent copper. Copper strengthens the metal, making sterling the standard for silver jewelry.

Sterling silver necklaces come in a wide variety of styles and prices. They feature every type of stone, from a very affordable sterling silver necklace with a cubic zirconia or angel pendant to modestly priced, but extravagant looking sterling silver pendants featuring topaz, sapphires, diamonds or other gems. Some of our sterling necklaces are vermeil necklaces (gold plated silver) for that added touch of panache. Whatever your budget, remember that Overstock.com never sells cheap necklaces; we offer quality sterling silver necklaces at clearance sale prices.

Many buyers come with a particular theme in mind for their necklace gifts--choker necklaces fit close to the neck and are great for showing off a gem stone pendant; sterling silver dog tags show patriotism or remind one of military service; the simple, bold sterling silver chain is a long-standing masculine tradition. Whatever your gift idea, whoever the recipient (especially if the recipient is you), visit Overstock.com often, and be ready to snatch the bling that catches your eye--at these low prices, one never knows how long it will stay in stock!
