Whenever we write in reference to “silver jewelry” on the Silver
Bullion website, except where we explicitly state otherwise, it’s always in reference to
silver jewelry which is:
-
Non-plated: Non-plated here refers to silver jewelry that
doesn’t consist of a base metal such as copper, nickel or zinc that is plated or coated with
silver. Yes, unlike silver coins, silver ingots and silver bullion bars
(silver bars), most if
not all silver jewelry and jewelry in general are plated or coated. However, needless to say, it’s
much better to buy or acquire silver jewelry that consists of a silver alloy that contains a high
percentage of silver, which is plated or coated, than silver jewelry which contains none or very
little silver except for the silver plate or coat mentioned.
-
Collector’s value: Silver jewelry that might or might not
have collector’s value attached to it such
as limited edition silver jewelry, designer silver jewelry and more.
