Silver is a great resource to make jewelry out of for many reasons. One reason is the color. Silver has a shiny rare color to it that can be good for good looking jewelry. Also over years the color of silver does not change that much so it will last a while.
Another reason to use Silver is because of its many uses. Silver can be used for coins, necklace's, bracelets and other jewelry related items. But it can also be mixed with gold making an alloy with gold to make gold last longer and become stronger.
