Sterling Silver Jewelry Fashion Trends
for the New Year and Beyond
By Sam and Tami Serio

Each year on fashion runways from New York to Paris, Milan, and Tokyo,
sterling silver is "new again" as designers interpret it in new and
exciting ways. What makes sterling silver a fashion perennial? The answer
is clear: when it comes to beauty, versatility, durability, and
affordability, sterling silver jewelry is unsurpassed.
In the hands of talented artists and designers, sterling silver is
constantly "reinvented" to suit the evolving tastes of the women who wear
it. But whether as a ring, a necklace, or bracelet, standing alone or
presented in combination with gemstones and other precious metals,
sterling silver is always in fashion.
Here's a look at what's "hot" this year:
Peace of Silver
In 2004, many Oscar presenters and recipients wore gracefully and simply
designed "Dove of Peace" pin. Embraced by such Hollywood luminaries as
Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon, Drew Barrymore, and Leonardo DiCaprio, it
has also been seen on the Dali Lama and Nobel Peace Laureates Oscar Aria
Sanchez, Betty Williams, Mairead Corrigan Maguire, and former UN Assistant
Secretary-General Gillian Sorrensom. Now non-celebrities may
purchase the pin in sterling silver pin to demonstrate both their
commitment to peace and their fashion sense. The 2005 sterling silver
interpretation was designed by award-winning American jewelry artist Henry
Dunay to resonate the energy of Picasso's "Dove Of Peace"
Silver Screen
With the enormous popularity of the "Lord of the Rings" series, it comes
as no surprise that designers have created jewelry based on the
elaborately crafted pieces in the films. Based on the actual pendant worn
in the Lord of the Rings film, the Arwen Evenstar Pendant is crafted in
sterling silver and comes in a wooden gift box. Measuring 2-1/2 inches in
length with a 18" sterling silver chain and a Swarovski crystal stone,
each piece is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, adding
long-term value to its other charms.
Works Like A Charm
Charm bracelets are both wonderfully retro and extremely cutting edge.
Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Avril Levigne, Hilary Duff, and other
high-visibility high-fashion celebrities are wrapping their wrists in
silver bracelets with the hip L.A. brand "Eldorado Club." The
"Girlie Charm Bracelet" is adorned with charming femme-friendly charms
including a cat, a cocktail glass, and a kitty.
Sterling Silver - Always In Style for Your 25th Anniversary No matter what
list you consult -- traditional, modern or the now popular "ultra-modern"
(which includes items like clocks and appliances) -- silver is the 21st
Century gift of choice for a 25th wedding anniversary. Whether it's
silver's durability, its strength, its flexibility or its unparalleled
beauty, sterling silver is an exquisite memento of 25 years of loving
commitment between a couple.
Topping the list of this year's "What's Hot" in silver wedding anniversary
gifts, women say they want charm bracelets, hoop earrings, and hair
ornaments. For wives who would like to present their husbands with
sterling silver tokens, the "top of the charts" picks are cufflinks, tie
clips, money clips, neck chains, and I.D. bracelets. But #1 for him
AND her -- a classic sterling silver Tiffany key ring.
