I have been wearing silver for about 7 years, or like silver (white gold etc) I have just discovered a lovely stainless steel collection of jewelry and I am in love.
Anyone else wearing stainless steel as their everyday jewlery?

Certainly stronger and more cost-effective, and they've been using surgical stainless steel in the posts of pierced earrings for a long time.
Do you have a link to the stainless steel collection? I love looking at jewelry!

Stately Steel on HSN, I haven't looked anywhere else yet but I am loving the styles and the wearabilty and the look. It's so me. Oh and the prices. I'm a matchy matchy on jewelry and now I can wear more than earrings because I can coordinate. I'm wearing a bracelet right now. I'm happy.

I SHOULD be looking at stainless. I have a sterling silver chain that has my mother's HS ring, DH's wedding band, a silver charm with DH's fingerprint etched on it, and a few other items with some sentimental value. My wedding band will eventually go on it, probably at the one-year anniversary of DH's death. I'd be sick if I lost them and I'm particularly wary because I lost a beautiful pendant and the chain it was on (both 14k gold) the year before last. Chains break. I was looking to replace the silver chain with a platinum one and the prices on e-Bay didn't look too bad- till I realized I was looking at 15" chains and mine is 30". Oops. Stainless would probably be as durable as platinum. But somehow I think I'm going to talk myself into platinum.

I want to wear DH's ring on a chain so this is a good plan. His was gold and silver but I wear silver so a silver chain it will be. But it needs to be strong.

When my Bill died I wore his ring with mine. The engagement ring kept all of them in place. I wore them until I married again.
I then had all of them melted down and 2 free-form pendants made for the 2 g-dtrs. On the back of the pendants are our initials and date of marriage. They are stored in the cedar chest and when I'm gone they can find them and decide who gets which one.
I didn't want anyone else wearing them as rings ......
I think I've seen stainless steel jewelry but didn't look close. I'm not into a lot of jewelry.

I'm not into a lot of jewelry. Me, neither. I hardly ever wear it. But I love the idea of stainless steel jewelry because I'm a sailor and we use stainless steel in everything because it is durable and doesn't corrode... so it would be a nice little inside joke to be wearing jewelry made of the same stuff I prize for rivets, screws and deck fittings.

I love stainless steal and sterling silver. Gold doesn't look good on me. My mom had a lot of 14K gold jewelry. It is nice stuff but unfortunately it just sits in my jewelry box.

If you aren't sentimental about it, you could try to sell it.

I only have one piece of jewelry and that is my wedding ring. Haven't been able to part with it. Other than that I only wear cheap earrings as I lose them all the time. So I am happy to have found inexpensive stuff that I like that matches. I can now wear a bracelet and earrings, or a fancy necklace that isn't expensive.

Sorry, I was commenting on Movingforward's comment about her mother's jewelry.
