Silver Jewelry for men

Silver Jewelry for Men
In todays world, Silver Jewelry for men makes good sense. Men, in general are quite a bit rougher than women and Silver is a durable precious metal that can take a lot of abuse. The general workplace of the average American man is in the field such as construction, mechanics, engineers, firemen, policemen etc. Most men do not want to wear flashy Jewelry in their daily routine so Silver Jewelry for men makes a lot of good sense!

Silver Jewelry for men has been standard for hundreds of years in the United States and for thousands of years in many different areas of the world. Silver Jewelry for men is more practical as men tend to do more heavy types of work and Silver does lend itself as being a very durable precious metal that can stand more abuse than gold. Thoughout the middle eastern countries Silver Jewelry for men is standard and in many areas it is frowned upon for men to wear gold Jewelry.
In the past few months a new word is on the street that Silver is the new Gold in Jewelry as the value of Gold has shot through the roof in value, over $1500.00 per ounce. The cost of Silver has also risen, however, it is still quite reasonable for mens Silver Jewelry at $36.00 per ounce. To give you an idea, a mens class ring weighs about 1/2 ounce in Silver and about 1/3rd more in Gold. You can imagine, the cost of Silver Jewelry for men versus Gold Jewelry for men is substancially more reasonable.
Beyond the cost of the two precious metals, Silver and Gold, Silver Jewelry for men makes a lot more sense as the mens workplace in general is not a place to show off your riches. Silver Jewelry for men in todays lifestyles of the average American makes good sense and many men will testify to that.
Durango Silver Company produces both Silver Jewelry for men as well as Gold Jewelry for men. There is no doubt in our minds that Silver Jewelry for men has become much more popular that Gold in the past several years in the United States. We believe it will continue to gain popularity into the future.

Quality Silver Jewelry

Quality Silver Jewelry by Durango Silver Company
Southwestern Silver Jewelry by Durango Silver Company
Silver Jewelry from the Southwest is different than Silver Jewelry made in other areas of the United States and the world. There is a certain flair about Southwestern Silver Jewelry that makes it so unique. It is in its origin from the Spaniards who originally brought the art of Silversmithing to this region in the mid 1860's. The Spaniards taught a Navajo Indian by the name of Atsidi Sani how to work with Silver and shortly after Silver Jewelry became very popular here in the Southwest. By the 1890's, Navajo's, Hispanics and Anglo's were making Silver Jewelry for a market that was relentless.
As people moved into Southwest, Silver Jewelry and Silver Turquoise Jewelry was purchased and worn by most people who lived in this area. Silversmiths and and Silver Jewelry manufacturers sprung up throughout Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado to make Silver Rings, Silver Bracelets, Silver Earrings, Silver Pendants and Silver Necklaces to fill a market that was growing by leaps and bounds fueld by the Californians and the influx of tourism to the Southwest. Turquoise also became very popular once the Grand Canyon became a National Park and a major attraction bringing a tremendous amount of tourism to the Southwest. A very large industry began producing Turquoise Silver Rings, Turquoise Silver Bracelets, Turquoise Silver Earrings, Turquoise Silver Pendants and Turquoise Silver Necklaces which were a major hit in Hollywood and then throughout southern California.
