As a self-professed lover of gold jewelry, let me be the first to tell you that I never imagined heralding the return of silver jewelry. Like so many others, silver was the gateway to my jewelry obsession. My mother had a great silver collection; I had a silver charm bracelet I’d add to each year; it was the fastest budget-friendly way to accrue. But over the years, I began to fall out of love with it and so did many consumers. Cut to 2025 and, for whatever the reason—the price of gold, the look—silver jewelry feels fresh, modern, and architectural.
Vogue’s Favorite Silver Jewelry:
Fashion houses have long embraced silver for their runway jewelry. It’s hard to imagine an Alexander McQueen, Chanel, or Marni show without it. Over the years even the big houses have launched fine jewelry lines for the shopper who isn’t in to the tarnish and upkeep and was fine spending more for more (or the same but in a more refined material). Silver hung on, however, and I’ve been noting it as a trend that has been inching back for years until it’s finally toppled and spilled into one of those have-to-have-it trends.
Contemporary jewelry brands have gotten back in the swing of creating pieces in silver (not just dipped), building their companies mostly on the back of silver (see: Juju Vera and Lié Studio), and even a few luxury jewelers have thrown their hat in the ring—New York jeweler Nina Runsdorf reached into her archives to launch an offshoot with the material. Below a curation of some of the best silver jewelry currently on the market.
