All stones work: Most stones; both precious and semi-precious as well as pearls, corals and jade works very well with silver.  Given the whitish tint that silver tends to have, one would assume that it would not work with pearls or diamonds but actually it works quite well with the luminosity of one enhancing the other. The colored stones naturally adds a different dimension to the look of the silver.

Delicate and rough: According to most designers of silver jewelry, the one single factor that adds to the attraction of designing with silver is that the piece that you are designing can be as rough or as delicate as you want to be.
