Wholesale Sterling Silver Jewelry: Sourcing Guide

Define your assortment

Start with the customer and price position, then choose categories. Earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets behave differently in terms of sizing, returns and display.

Understand 925

Sterling silver is an alloy containing 92.5% silver by weight. Plating can change surface color without changing the underlying sterling-silver base.

Calculate landed cost

Include product cost, shipping, insurance, duties/taxes, payment fees, packaging and expected returns. Landed cost is the number that belongs in your pricing model.

Buy samples first

A sample order lets you inspect finishing, clasps, stone setting, measurements, packaging, photography accuracy and shipping performance before committing to scale.

Supplier path

If you want a specialist source, SilverBene currently presents itself as a factory/wholesale supplier focused on 925 sterling silver, with ready stock and custom manufacturing.

What we would verify before buying

• Current material and plating specification for the exact SKU.
• Minimum order quantity or account requirement for your buying model.
• Processing time, shipping origin, delivery method, duties/taxes and return path.
• Packaging, branding and product-data rights if you resell online.
• A sample or test order before committing meaningful inventory or ad spend.
