The Return of Silver

As gold prices keep rising, we’ve started to focus more on silver, a precious metal with a long history and plenty of modern uses. In ancient Egypt, it was more highly prized than gold, rarer, harder to source, and believed to represent the bones of the gods. Even today, silver still carries cultural importance, phrases like “selling the family silver” show how it’s seen as something deeply precious. This special metal features in our collections in a way that balances elegance and everyday wearability. Whether you’re looking for a meaningful gift or a personal treasure, explore our silver pieces that blend tradition with fresh, modern design.

Athena Pieces

The Athena pieces offers bold, sculptural designs that pair silver and gold with intention. These pieces are structured, elegant, and powerful, a celebration of form, balance, and material harmony.

There’s a growing trend of mixing metals more freely, with clients loving the versatility of blending silver and gold for a modern, lived-in feel that isn’t overly polished. This isn’t a change from Minka’s values but a return to jewellery’s origins, where beauty, value, and symbolism are inseparable. Silver may be softer in tone, but it’s no less powerful, and we believe our clients are ready to fall in love with it all over again.
