Sterling silver, unlike gold, needs no explanation.

When you are shopping for a gift for someone you can’t go wrong with sterling silver. Sterling silver earrings have no subtext – unlike their golden cousins. You don’t have to worry about how the gift is interpreted. So you saw these great looking earrings. And you got them for her.

“Because they were sterling silver they were more affordable than a gold pair might be.”

Everybody knows that a gold setting guarantees a multifold increase in the price of the earrings. Buying sterling silver gives you more options in terms of your budget.

“And the setting was just right for you so I bought them. And here they are.”

Because you’re not paying for the gold in the earrings, you can focus on the setting. On the stones. On the design. For instance the birthstone for a person born in July is the Ruby. A ruby in a gold earring will set you back a fair bit. But sterling silver let’s you give an extremely personalized gift at a more affordable price.

When it comes to sterling silver earrings, it is what it is. A great gift, given in the spirit of the occasion.

The person getting the earrings will be thrilled. Because, yes, the setting is pretty. And yes they are a great gift. And thankfully, they require no interpretation. Because, yes – it is what it is.
