There’s something timeless about Sterling Silver.

Beyond its shine and beauty, silver carries a history of reverence across cultures, woven into ritual, myth, and everyday adornment. When you wear silver, you’re not just wearing a metal — you’re connecting to something ancient, powerful, and deeply symbolic.

The History of Silver

Silver has been mined and worked for thousands of years. The Sumerians and Akkadians prized it as a material of beauty and trade. Archaeologists in Oman have uncovered an incredible hoard of ancient silver jewelry dating back 5,000 years. In ancient Egypt, silver was considered even more valuable than gold, linked to the bones of the gods. Across the world, silver has been used for coins, ritual vessels, and sacred adornments — always carrying a sense of purity and prestige.

Metaphysical Properties of Sterling Silver

In the metaphysical world, silver is more than just a setting for stones — it’s a conductor of energy in its own right. Silver is known for:

• Lunar Connection: Silver has always been associated with the Moon, mirroring its glow and cycles. Like the Moon, silver represents intuition, feminine energy, and the subconscious.

• Amplification: Silver enhances and magnifies the energy of the stones it holds, making it the perfect partner for crystal jewelry.

• Protection: Silver has long been seen as a protective metal, guarding the wearer from negativity while keeping energy balanced.

• Clarity & Flow: With its connection to water and the Moon, silver encourages fluidity, reflection, and emotional balance.

Silver in Myth and Magick

In mythology, silver has long been linked to goddesses of the Moon and mystery — Arianrhod in Celtic lore, Selene and Artemis in Greece, and Chandra in Vedic tradition. These deities remind us of silver’s power to guide us through cycles of growth, shadow, and renewal.

Alchemists also considered silver sacred, linking it to the Moon’s symbol in their writings and using it as a bridge between the material and spiritual worlds.
