Over the years my taste in jewelry has changed dramatically. When I was younger I liked everything gold and anything with diamonds (fake or real) was the most appealing to me. However, as I got older, my tastes changed and I realized how much I like the simplicity of silver jewelry. Not that silver jewelry cannot be intricate, it can. In fact there are some wonderful complex pieces of jewelry made entirely out of silver. I especially enjoy pieces that are combined with a white stone like crystal (and of course diamonds, that has not changed.) which makes any peice look elegant and expensive.
