"sterling silver" news and stories

Some might describe these as the perfect accessory for the well-dressed foodie, but I'm just not convinced that they really need to be added to anyone's wardrobe. Pink describes them as "a fun and tasty accent to our summer collection. Sterling silver cupcakes 'iced' with white enamel and a glass candied cherry in the centre. Chain link connector leads to a glass 'cherry' base."

Love them or hate them, I'm leaving this one up to you to decide. However, I may influence the votes a little bit with this additional information - they cost $150 a pair.

I love my chef's knife but, because I don't have a death wish, I would never attempt to wear the knife in place of ordinary jewelery. Designer Debbie Howell seemed to think that this was a problem, too, because she designed a pendant and a pair of matching earrings that features sterling silver chefs' knives. The jewelery is a fun way to show off to the world who the chef in the house is. Howell has also designed other kitchen utensil-themed pieces, including a utensil brooch and whisk earrings. All of the pieces fantastic gifts. The knife pendant is $45. The earrings are $65.
