Looking to sell sterling silver jewelry wholesale? Wanting to sell something beautiful, understated, yet attention grabbing?

Silver jewelry is pretty on all skin tones, versatile from day to night, and wearable on any occasion. It's less expensive than gold, which could be why its popularity continues to persist.

Silver jewelry will make a statement in your store because:

1. Its luster and cool glow shines almost anywhere.
2. People who love silver really love silver jewelry. They collect it, pile it on, and won't combine it with any other color metal.
3. Silver's value is not as fluctuating as gold's worth, and it is an especially good investment.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Sell unique and one-of-a-kind silver jewelry

You want to offer unique silver jewelry, but it must also sell. Offer a range of different pieces: silver bracelets, silver earrings, men's silver jewelry, sterling silver jewelry, and much more. However, your product selection should look defined. Try looking for themes when searching for wholesale silver jewelry. Sometimes different shades of silver will clash, so try to keep your products in the same color scheme.

I recommend: Erayo offers wholesale sterling silver jewelry, along with very unique silver jewelry. Silvertribe has beautiful Native American silver bracelets.

Compare prices on silver jewelry before investing in vintage or unique pieces

Although silver is a material with a definite value, you will see it marked up for every reason a salesperson can think of: artistic value, sentimental value, one-of-a-kind value, etc. When buying antique silver jewelry, especially, you must be aware of this reasoning.

I recommend: Goldline International Inc. has some information on today's silver values, and SilverSource offers wholesale sterling silver jewelry, with good information on buying it. For the items you just can't sell, you may want to consider GoldPaq, which will buy silver jewelry from you, before you lower your prices too much.

Go to the experts when buying your silver jewelry

The cheapest way to buy silver jewelry is usually the most hit-or-miss. Auctions are good for great deals, but risky if you're not extremely careful. Silver earrings, silver bracelets and silver charm necklaces should have working clasps and should not easily tangle. Sterling silver jewelry should not be so thin that you can bend it easily. Vintage silver jewelry can sell for a lot, so be on the lookout, and if you think a pair of sterling silver earrings or a silver necklace you've scored might actually make you a big profit, go ahead and get it appraised. Also, don't forget to always buy a nice chain if you see one (they will always sell, even if they aren't of an expensive material). Especially, make sure you clean all used items you purchase.

I recommend: Silver-Appraisals.com can appraise you silver jewelry online. Check MJSA and JCK Las Vegas Show Guide Online for local businesses near you that sell silver jewelry.
