New Silver Earrings Categories Added

Butterfly stud earringsWe have been busy adding more silver earrings to Shop 4 Silver and the category is certainly getting larger which is what a lot of people want - they like to browse different styles.  But also, people know what they want e.g. stud earrings and want to be able to go straight there and not see drop earrings or hoop earrings.  This is fair enough so we have categorised the three types of earrings but also kept the general ear ring categories too.

The three categories are silver hoop earrings, silver drop earrings and silver stud earrings.

I am looking to doing the same to other categories - charms is next on my list along with a large increase in items we stock.

What is a Tennis Bracelet?

Silver and cubic zirconia tennis braceletTraditionally, a tennis bracelet (also known as a diamond line bracelet) is a thin bracelet with a uniform sized square or rectangular diamonds linked all around the bracelet making it somewhat flexible.

Diamond line bracelets first became known as tennis bracelets in the 1980’s when Chris Every famously lost her bracelet while playing a match.  The game had to be halted while she searched for her loved piece of jewellery.  Following the trend of tennis players wearing them, in 2002 Serena Williams wore a tennis bracelet during the US Open.

What started out as an expensive piece of jewellery has also had designers take its appeal and launch it for the mass market and these days the beauty and style has been kept but different materials are often used such as silver and cubic zirconia stones.  That way, you can have a stunning tennis bracelet that doesn’t break the bank.

Rain Good for Ankle Chains and Toe Rings?

Silver ankle chain imageIf I was told that excessive rain, floods, Wimbledon being rained off, etc. would be good for people wanting summer jewellery i.e. ankle chains and toerings, I’d have laughed.  But, strange as it seems, it’s true!

I’m sitting here listening to the rain falling yet again during July and I can almost imagine people dreaming of their summer holiday - walking to the beach or swimming pool and relaxing with a nice, cold drink and reading their book under blue skies and the fantastic sun all the while letting their ankle chain and toe rings show off their tan.

It’s good to dream and when the weather is like this, you need something to cheer you up!

If you’d like to look at our range of ankle chains (also called anklets) and toe rings then feel free!
