Silver rings are a unique fashion statement that can be enjoyed by the young and old alike. As an alternative to gold rings, silver rings allow for a different range of matching outfit colors and styles. For example, if one were to dress in a black outfit with silver accents, a gold ring would not be the best choice for full fashion coherence. However, silver rings would provide that and not sacrifice the need for accompanying jewelry.

Silver rings are often seen as a less expensive alternative to gold, yet the perceptions are changing as silver can be modified with as many gemstones as gold can. In Western countries, silver is now an acceptable and desirable metal to have on wedding rings, given that the traditional diamonds and or other gemstones are also included. Silver rings can be a demure addition to a woman's or a man's wardrobe yet it can also be an overemphasized accessory, as seen in some famous musicians' jewelry choices. Although they may be of less monetary value, silver rings are a fashion statement of equal weight and importance as that of gold ones.
