Glammed up with gems

Silver jewellery is spectacular on its own, but throw in some dazzling gemstones and you’ve taken it to a whole new level. When you pair gemstones with the pristine white of silver, the effect is eye-popping. And given its lower cost relative to its pricier counterparts, silver allows designers to create large, dramatic gemstone jewellery at an affordable cost.

“With rich hues and distinctive appeal, coloured gemstones set on silver is one of the most expressive forms of jewellery,” says designer Lucy Kilislian of Candy Ice Jewelry. “Consumers are able to pick colours that match their fashion palette and customize it to suit their budget and lifestyle.”

Topaz, garnet, tourmaline, and quartz all come in a rainbow of colours, making them affordable and ideal pairings with the white metal.
