Is Silver still used in jewelry?

A lot of lower priced jewelry is made out of silver instead of white gold. Sterling silver jewelry, which is alloyed with 7.5% copper, can frequently be found in kiosks or even at stores like Target and Wal Mart, and is mostly used in earrings and pendants.

You mentioned the green mark. Unlike gold, silver tarnishes, or oxidizes, and causes it to turn green, and eventually black. However this can easily be polished at home with the proper solution and a polishing cloth.

Silver platters are nice too!

Yes, silver is still used in jewelry and it is quite popular due to the fact that it is a cheaper alternative to gold or platinum. The only thing with silver is that there is some maintenance with it. You have to polish it every once in a while or it will tarnish.
