As of this past Friday, the price of gold had reached an astounding $1,746 per ounce. With the economy in a seemingly endless state of turbulence, all predictions point to even more increases in the cost of this precious metal. However, for all in the jewelry industry, price fluctuations bring new opportunities to explore and create with alternative, sometimes unique and lesser known, metals. For this edition, we’ll focus on the resurgence of silver, which has steadily been regaining its position in the luxury sector over the past year and half.
The newest sterling silver designs from our Prestige Promenade designers cover a wide range of styles, showcasing the metal’s versatility and potential. We expect to see even more variations in the coming months. Here are just a few of the new silver options to crop up from some of our member designers:
