Since the 12th century, we’ve been smitten with silver. And affordable sterling silver rings aren’t something new, either. With the growing middle class, we have the demand for this precious metal we see today. When we’re done, you’ll learn how to count the savings on your fingers!

Shop LC has been selling inexpensive sterling silver rings and other fantastic jewelry for over a decade. It’s easy.

The Meaning of Silver

Silver is a precious metal valued for thousands of years for its rarity, beauty, and versatility. Silver has various meanings and symbolism in different cultures and traditions. Some common interpretations of silver include the following.

Wealth and Prosperity

Silver has historically been a symbol of wealth and affluence and used as a currency in many cultures. For centuries, the silver standard was how we humans did business. This changed in the 18th century. The echoes persist in how we value precious metals, including sterling silver. Jewelry remains a form of wearable wealth.

Purity and Spiritual Significance

Silver is often associated with purity and religious ceremonies, and spiritual practices. In the King James Bible, silver appears a whopping 320 times! In biblical times, this metal was rarer than gold, which is why silver appears before gold in specific passages, such as Abraham’s wealth (Genesis 13:1 – 2, 24:35).

Healing and Protection

Silver has antimicrobial properties used in traditional medicine to treat wounds and prevent infections. There are three known ways that silver acts on microbes and dozens (if not hundreds) of ways it’s being used for health, according to the National Library of Medicine.

Mystery and Enchantment

Silver is associated with magic, mysticism, and supernatural power in various cultures and folklore. A common belief still held by many is that silver amplifies and conducts energy, including magic, similar to quartz.

Cheap sterling silver rings aren’t looking so cheap now, are they? When it comes down to it, there is a wide range of silver rings available, suiting every style and taste. I’ve wrangled up some of the most popular silver brands Shop LC offers.
