Determining the price of sterling silver wholesale jewelry by its quality
When it comes to jewelry of any kind, the quality generally determines the price. This of course is besides the weight of the metal being used and the precious and semi precious stones if any. Therefore when you look at sterling silver jewelry, you too need to consider the quality of the piece or pieces that you are buying and then decided whether they have been priced appropriately. You must also keep in mind that sterling silver is not 100% silver. It is a mixture of silver and copper. Here are some of the factors that go into deciding the quality of sterling silver jewelry:
Finishing
When you are buying sterling silver wholesale jewelry, finishing is the most important factor that you need to look at. Sterling silver jewelry is finished in four different ways – high polish, black antique, nickel and rhodium plating. High polished sterling silver jewelry is ideal for people who are allergic to rhodium and nickel. It is also suitable for engraving. The black antique look is preferred by some people. The black look is created by adding some silver oxide to the silver. Both the high polished variety and the black variety are similar in pricing. The next kind of finishing is nickel plating. This type of plating is very popular with Italian jewelry and since nickel is not really a precious metal, this type does not cost much either. The most expensive kind though is rhodium plated sterling jewelry. Rhodium is highly resistant to tarnishing and is also substantially expensive.
Stone cutting
Whether the wholesale sterling silver jewelry is set with a precious or a semi precious stone you will find that the cut of the stone also has a sufficient impact on the price. If you take for example the different prices of a cubic zirconia ring you will find that the emerald and the baguette cut are the most expensive, followed by the princess cut and then the round brilliant cut.
Stone setting
The stone setting of wholesale sterling silver jewelry also determines its costs. You will find that rings and bracelets that are put together by a method called wax setting which is a mechanical one are more economical. However you will also get jewelry where the stone has been set by hand and these are more expensive.
