Here at Boho Betty, we’re huge fans of sterling silver, and honestly, it’s not hard to see why.
This beautiful, versatile metal has been adored for centuries, and today it remains one of the most loved choices in everyday jewellery. Whether you’re building a capsule jewellery wardrobe or looking for pieces you can wear day after day without worry, sterling silver is always a winning choice.
Sterling silver jewellery can elevate an outfit instantly, adding a touch of luxe without the overpowering price tag. It feels premium, looks elegant, pairs beautifully with other metals, and works perfectly for both daytime simplicity and evening sparkle.
So today, we’re sharing our top 5 reasons why we love sterling silver, and why you’ll fall in love with it too…
Featuring cubic zirconia crystals
Sterling silver is already charming on its own, but pair it with cubic zirconia? It becomes something truly special.
Our sterling silver designs often feature CZ crystals, the perfect blend of beauty, brilliance and affordability. These stones:
✨ catch the light in all the right ways
✨ deliver a diamond-like sparkle
✨ come in an array of colours
✨ are durable enough for daily wear
✨ offer luxe style without the luxury price
It’s the perfect way to enjoy high-end shimmer without needing a high-end budget. Whether you prefer subtle shine or statement sparkle, cubic zirconia and sterling silver make a dream combination.
Rhodium plated (durable and resistant)
If longevity is important to you, rhodium-plated sterling silver is a standout choice. Rhodium is one of the strongest precious metals in the world, and adding a layer of it gives your jewellery a whole new level of durability.
Here’s what that means for your pieces:
✨ Scratch-resistant – perfect for everyday wear
✨ Anti-tarnish – stays brighter for longer
✨ Holds its shape – no bending or warping
✨ Maintains its shine – even after years
With a little care and proper storage, your sterling silver jewellery can genuinely last for years. It’s the type of metal that grows with you, timeless, reliable and always ready to shine.
Kind to your ears (hypo-allergenic)
Many people don’t realise that pure silver (99.9%) is actually too soft to be worn as jewellery, so it’s typically mixed with other metals to strengthen it. Unfortunately, some silver blends contain nickel, a common trigger for irritation.
That’s where sterling silver comes in.
Sterling silver is hypoallergenic, making it a much kinder option for sensitive ears or skin. If you've ever experienced:
-
itching
-
redness
-
scabbing
-
soreness
-
reactions to cheaper metals
you’ll find sterling silver a gentle, comfortable alternative. Perfect for everyday use, especially earrings or pieces you never want to take off.
Perfect for layering
One of the reasons sterling silver has stood the test of time? It pairs beautifully with everything.
Sterling silver is the ultimate layering metal. You can:
✨ stack delicate silver bracelets for effortless style
✨ layer silver chains of different lengths for depth
✨ pair silver with gold for a modern mixed-metal look
✨ use it to soften or brighten bolder outfits
✨ stack rings to create your own signature combinations
It’s a metal that adapts to your personal style, boho, minimalist, bold, colourful, casual or glam. No matter what you wear, sterling silver seamlessly fits in.
Timeless and elegant - styles to suit everyone
