Male Jewelry, Increased Demand For Male Silver Jewelry

Even before gold prices rocketed, the demand for male jewelry was fairly tilted in favor of male silver jewelry. Many men feel that male gold jewelry is too flashy and loud. They prefer the calm and yet confident appeal of sterling silver male jewelry. Economics has now come into play, this has resulted in a shift in demand from male gold jewelry to sterling silver male jewelry. Much of this demand has been influenced by rising gold prices. This trend has posed some challenges for jewelers. In normal situations, most jewelers do not care to produce fine quality silver jewelry. The lucrative margins offered by gold jewelry have resulted in most jewelry houses refusing to accept, single piece custom orders for male silver jewelry. There was a time when jewelers could get gold orders fairly easily, they therefore did not lose much revenue by refusing to produce silver jewelry. This is something not possible now, a jeweler would find himself in financial problems if, he stuck to making gold jewelry alone. Most custom jewelry providers confirm, that the frequency with which they get gold jewelry orders has drastically slowed down.

Many men adore male silver jewelry for it's classic appearance. The MPN02 male silver cross pendant from Kaisilver is a great example of calm, classic and yet confident looking male 925 silver jewel. A true lover of silver jewelry would not want to plate such a jewel with rhodium, gold or even platinum. Remember that it is the appearance of the metal that impressive such buyers. We have more on this male silver cross pendant here.

At Kaisilver we often say that, design selection is important for good male 925 silver jewelry. The MPN02 male silver cross pendant proves this. The overall concept for this male cross is antique and classic, the antiquing on silver actually enhances the beauty of the jewel. This would be a great pendant even if a slight tarnish was allowed to remain on the jewel.



The MAN09 is a good example of sturdy and tough male silver jewelry. Notice the good silver thickness provided for the band of this male silver ring with moonstone. Keep in mind that you can order all custom jewelry from us in gold or 925 silver with the design and gem stones of your choice. Just to clarify the meaning of metal thickness, it is not the band width but rather the thickness of the band. Typically jewelers prefer to keep the thickness very low, this is done to reduce the metal weight even when the band width itself remains the same. You can see full details of the MAN09 ring here.

Just give it a thought, when you maintain the dimensions of a jewel but reduce the metal weight, the jewel becomes thin. Such jewelry can bend, deform or dent easily. You will end up paying frequent repair costs, and the ring will soon start looking quite drab and shabby. At Kaisilver, both gold and 925 sterling silver jewelry is provided with a good weight that is generally, 40% to 60% more than what other jewelers would provide for the similar jewels. While metal weight is not the only feature that influences the longterm durability of a jewel, it is surely one of the dominant features. Keep this in mind when comparing our jewelry with that from other jewelry providers.
