Most peole like silver jewelry.But do you know the history of silver?Silver has been known since ancient times and has long been valued as a precious metal, used to make ornaments, jewellery, high-value tableware and utensils and currency coins. Mined right back in 4000BC in Turkey which was then called Anatolia, the main source of silver now is from Peru and Mexico. To the Egyptians, gold was considered to be the perfect metal, and gave the symbol of a circle to it. Since silver was the next best to gold in terms of perfection, it was given a semi-circle for it's symbol.
This bracelet is Elsa Peretti's pinnacle. 3 string inlaid silver pink freshwater cultured pearl bracelet, 7.25 inches long.It is designed by Elsa Peretti.This semi-circle later changed through time and led to a moon symbol, due to the similarity between the shining metal being like the glowing moon light. The Romans gave silver the name of argentum, which is still used today as the international name of the element, from where its chemical symbol of Ag comes from.Silver ,though may not very attractive but it's so uncompareless.For example, Tiffany jewellery, is also a good choice.
