It is known that the first silver jewelry of the author's work was made about six thousand years ago. At that time, this metal was valued more than gold and only the wealthy people and representatives of power could afford the author's jewelry from silver. Initially, these were beads, buttons, pendants, and later jewelers learned to encrust jewelry with precious stones and combine it with other metals.
In Russia, silver became popular in the time of Carl Faberge (18-19 century), who created the legendary collection of Faberge eggs. It was then that the technique of processing silver was maximally refined, and unusual ornaments with ornate lines and noble cold shine were valued incredibly expensive. In the 20th century, the latest technologies for processing precious metals made silver jewelry affordable, and the price more democratic.
