Are you considering choosing a silver engagement ring? You are not alone! Here's a deep dive into the pros and cons of silver rings and tips to keep them beautiful for years to come.

The advantages of silver rings
Silver rings are a popular choice when it comes to engagement rings. One of the main advantages of silver is its beautiful colour and significantly lower price than gold. And the bigger the ring you choose, the bigger the difference in price.

Disadvantages to consider
However, there are some aspects to be aware of. Silver is a softer material than gold, which means there is a higher risk of scratches and deformations if the ring is subjected to shocks or being pinched. Wear and tear can vary greatly depending on your lifestyle. Some may notice wear and tear after a year, while others can wear their ring for over a decade without major problems.

Tips to minimise wear and tear
To prolong the life of your silver ring, it may be wise to take it off during certain activities, such as weight training or gardening. You should also choose a surface where scratches are less visible, such as a hammered or bark surface. These surfaces don't show scratches as much as a completely smooth surface.

Choose the right setting for your diamond
When it comes to choosing a setting for a silver diamond ring, a strong setting is important. A girdle setting, where silver encircles the entire stone, is more durable than the more traditional claw settings. A girdle setting protects the stone from damage and reduces the risk of losing the stone.

Caring for your silver ring
Just as with gold rings, you can polish and buff your silver ring to preserve its lustre. If deep scratches appear, you can always take it to a jeweller for professional polishing.

Durability
How long your silver ring will last depends on how much it is used and worn. Many rings can last for years, but it's important to be aware that a silver ring may not last a lifetime. However, as it is a significantly lower price, it doesn't matter if you have to buy a new one later in life.
