Why you should prefer silver women’s jewelry instead of faux bijoux or stainless steel
- Affordable elegance: change your style often without breaking the bank.
- Hypoallergenic profile (especially 925 silver): ideal for sensitive skin.
- Natural shine & flexibility: blends with minimal and impressive designs.
- Durability: with proper care, it lasts for years.
How to avoid allergies when wearing handmade silver jewelry
Most jewelry allergies are due to poor quality alloys and/or contact with nickel.
This occurs most often in faux jewelry (coated cheap alloys that wear away and expose the substrate) and in some
steel jewelry that may contain nickel.

Basic safety rules
- Choose 925 silver (sterling silver): 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper.
- Avoid moisture and chemicals: remove jewelry before bathing, swimming pool, cleaning products.
- Regular cleaning: wipe after use with a soft cloth (We provide it at each purchase or at our store in Trikala).

Conclusion
Silver women’s jewelry combines style, hypoallergenic safety and durability.
Unlike faux bijoux that wears out quickly and often exposes irritating alloys, or steel jewelry that may contain nickel, 925 silver offers a reliable, timeless solution. As a precious metal —along with gold— it does not lose its value and highlights your personality in every occasion.
If you choose handmade designs, you gain uniqueness, better fit, and the ability to maintain/repair from the creator.
Combine them correctly with your wardrobe and invest in 2–3 key pieces that “write” everywhere: discreet earrings, a thin necklace and a statement ring.
