Question:

Silver OR Steel Jewellery.?

Okay basically bought my girlfriend Tiffany sterling silver necklace for her birthday and now christmas is coming up i want to buy her this DG Necklace. BUT i have discovered its steel. And its ?110. I am not a rich man i am infact quite young and we have been together for an incredibly long time! I wanted to know is Steel seen as a cheap necklace, whats your say? Don't give me all this bull about her being grateful as she does not expect this. BUT I WANT IT TO BE NICE. Whats your say? Is Steel good? Does it get dirty? Does it shine? Is it worth it? Thanks x

Answer:

Things about steel~ Basically indestructable Should be non magnetic It shines Why not get it
I think steel would probably be better than silver. (Since silver tarnishes.) I have a piece of steel jewellery and it looks the same as silver. You should definately get her it.
STAINLESS steel is fine. It is the modern alternative. Whether it is seen as a `cheap` necklace depends on the quality of the necklace itself in this case, not what it is made of. At ?110 it should be a well-made and a quite original piece. You should have put a link showing it . Stainless steel will not rust, it`s washable, and will keep it shine forever. My own guess (based on the limited info you have supplied) is that it sounds like a very acceptable gift.
Steel necklaces are popular these days. They certainly have a different look than silver. I think they have an 'edgier' look, so it depends on your girl's style. If you like it, and you think she will, go for it. If you're into showing emotional affection, you could accompany the gift with some sort of card or note saying something about your love is as strong as steel. She'd probably dig it. I would.
