Like certain gemstones, minerals and crystals, silver is believed to remove negative energy from the body. A piece of jewellery for example will often be a stone such as Turquoise, Agate, Moonstone (cool coloured stones, linked with the moons energy) incased in silver, is thought to channel in the positive energy of the other minerals.

Why does every woman I know prefer silver to gold in jewellery? Is silver a more feminine colour? Men I think tend to prefer gold. ‘ The silver apples of the moon/ The golden apples of the sun’. Silver is understated and it’s association with the night and the moon (the goddess Luna) would suggest its feminine attraction. What do you think?
Hi Keith, thanks for your comments. I think it’s possibly simpler than you may think. Since the introduction of white metals and the popularity of Platinum and Palladium it’s more of look at our current trends towards fashion than the meaning behind the metal. To put it plainly White metal is just more fashionable than yellow gold.
