Silver jewelry predominates gold in 2010 fashion trend surveys. Many designers, both young and the legendaries are tilting their jewelry scale to silver for 2010. The names include those of Vera Wang and Tom Binns. Exclusive handcrafted jewelry designer John.S.Brana is also presenting his collection of sterling silver jewelry. Also, the designer house 'Rock + Royalty' has come up with their collection of silver jewelry for 2010.

The reasons behind such a silver-shift, are appearing explained and reasonable too. Though the silver-tilt is a little less prominent now, fashion analysts are foreseeing more silver participation as the months will go by. The analysts are upholding the 'beginning of the end of recession' theory, while reasoning with the silver-tilt trend.

Every cloud has a silver lining. The overcast clouds of recession are slowly dwindling away. People are seeing silver linings of hope beyond the clouds. And what is best way to celebrate this hope? Sterling silver jewelry is serving the purpose best.

Also, the quiet 'back-to-nature' trend this season, is another reason why silver jewelry is finding more expression. The plainness of white, the antique and tribal vibe and the simple intricacy of silver is gradually finding its revival in prestigious fashion avenues this season. Also, the fact that silver can be so easily encrusted with gem stones and crystals, is adding glittering colors to the reputation of silver. Silver is also getting a very sublime recognition as a bridal wear jewelry.

The most recent evidence is that of designer John.S.Brana, who is introducing sterling silver jewelry along with gold at the 13th Annual Designers by the Bay and Fine Jewelry showcase on 20th of October. This San Fransisco event is being attended by more than 200 high profile guests from the Jewelry industry. Brana has designed sterling silver cuffs and has sculpted and hand-texturised them. He says, he wants to focus on versatility and sculptural textures for his spring 2010 collection.

Fashion legends, Vera Wang and Tom Binns, are finding glorious expression in sterling silver necklaces. Tom Binns is a designer who has been a long time lover of Sterling. Silver has been his favourite medium for long. As long as two years back Binns created Sterling cuffs with an opening at the back. More recently, in August 2009, he created the unique 'zipper earrings' with sterling. The earrings are essentially 3.25 inches long Sterling silver zippers hanging from a single white crystal.

The necklaces are gorgeous and stunning. Tom Binns' creations are more exuberant and glittering in crystal colors, while those of Vera's are more bridal and poised in nature. The diamond and pearl-encrusted Vera Wang bridal necklaces are complete with accompanying ear rings. The ear-rings themselves are individual and beautiful and can be even worn alone.

The designer house Rock & Royalty Brands also showcased sterling in their latest collection. The exquisite jewelries are designed to symbolize love, peace and unity. They are simple and beautiful and were inspired by organic shapes and simple lines. The sterling silver jewelries were hand made through every stage of their creations. Most exquisite are the leaf-motif pendants where the leaves are so arranged to create the appearance of different flowers. Some of these leaf-arrangements invoke a plant shape when viewed upside down.
