Growing up, many of us can trace the shimmer of silver back to a memory- mother’s payal echoing through the hallway, a dainty nazariya tied lovingly by a grandmother, or that little silver spoon from your first Annaprashan ceremony.
Silver, in Indian homes, is more than just a metal. It's woven into our rituals, our milestones, and our emotions. And when it comes to silver jewellery from WeaverStory, the story only deepens.
Each piece, whether it’s a hand-chiselled jadau necklace, a finely detailed silver bangle, or an elegant pair of jhumka-style earrings, carries with it a touch of tradition and the mastery of artisans who’ve passed down their skill over generations. Our silver isn’t just adorned; it’s inherited. It’s held close, cherished, and loved, just like the memories they’re part of.
Why Silver Deserves Care That Matches Its Sentiment
Silver is a living metal. It breathes, reacts, and evolves. When left untouched, it might tarnish or lose its luster, but when cared for with love, it stays timeless. At WeaverStory, every silver ornament is a quiet reminder of the past and a promise to the future.
Whether you're wearing our kundan-set chokers for a wedding, styling a silver maangtika for a festive function, or gifting a statement ring to a loved one, each piece deserves to shine, just like the story it carries.
How to Care for Your Silver Jewellery the Right Way
1. Store It Like a Treasure
Silver hates moisture. Wrap your pieces individually in soft muslin or anti-tarnish cloth. Keep them in an airtight box or zip-lock pouch. You can even toss in a silica gel sachet to keep humidity at bay.
WeaverStory Tip: Don’t pile pieces together. Silver is soft, it can scratch easily when jumbled up.
2. Keep It Away from Chemicals
Perfume, lotion, hairspray, these everyday essentials can be harsh on your jewellery. Always wear your silver pieces after your makeup and fragrance routine.
Think of it like this: Silver should be the finishing touch to your look, never the first step.
3. Polish With Love
Use a soft cotton cloth or a silver polishing cloth to gently wipe your jewellery after use. If you’re feeling DIY-ish, a paste of baking soda and water can help clean lightly tarnished pieces. But be gentle, especially with detailed or set-stone designs like our meenakari pendants or kundan bangles.
4. Wear It Often
Surprisingly, the best way to keep silver shining is to wear it. The natural oils from your skin actually help prevent tarnish.
So go ahead, pair those stunning silver chandbaalis with a cotton saree or layer a bold silver necklace over your linen kurta. Your jewellery wants to be seen.
A Note on Antique Finishes & Jadau Craft
At WeaverStory, many of our silver pieces, especially those from our Meenakari and Jadau collection, come with a slightly antique or handcrafted finish. This patina is intentional. It brings depth, warmth, and an heirloom-like quality to the jewellery. It’s what gives your piece character and a soul.
Avoid over-polishing these styles. They’re meant to look rich, lived-in, and steeped in artistry.
Beyond Beauty: The Craftsmanship Behind Each Piece
Silver jewellery at WeaverStory isn’t mass-produced. It’s handcrafted in heritage ateliers across Rajasthan and beyond, using age-old techniques like glass meenakari, kundan setting, and hand-carved silverwork. These pieces aren't just made- they're imagined, honed, and perfected by skilled artisans whose fingertips have memorised these patterns for decades.
Every bangle, every jhumka, every pendant, carries their touch. When you care for your jewellery, you care for their craft too.
Passing Down a Legacy
We often hear from our customers about how a WeaverStory piece became their wedding day memory, their mother’s blessing, or their first heirloom gift to a daughter. Silver stays. It waits patiently in velvet boxes and jewellery trays, only to come out and sparkle again when the occasion and the emotion calls for it.
That’s the beauty of it. Silver doesn’t just belong to one moment. It lives on, in many.
Let’s not treat silver jewellery as ‘just an accessory.’ Let’s see it for what it really is: a thread that ties past to present, memory to meaning, and beauty to emotion.
So the next time you wear your WeaverStory silver, pause for a second. Listen closely. You might just hear the stories it’s waiting to tell.
