Lover of silver jewelry

Cue the Trumpets. Sterling silver jewelry is hereby recognized as a viable and dynamic jewelry category by the “Main-Street” jewelry storeowner.

Wait a minute, there’s an illogic here. Numerous jewelry retail channels have already recognized silver jewelry for what it is; beautiful, creative and especially profitable.

mystery-ladyTake Tiffany & Co., for example. Over the years, Tiffany has become a retail channel by itself. Their skilled management team pioneered silver styling, (i.e. remember the 3-pronged Tiffany setting), merchandising, branding, (i.e. Elsa Peretti, Paloma Picasso) and pricing. Silver jewelry has become a strong – if not major — part of their product mix. How big a part is, of course, a carefully guarded trade secret? They’ve been doing their silver jewelry homework for decades.

“Cue the Trumpets. Silver jewelry is hereby recognized as a viable and dynamic jewelry category.”

Take major department stores, for example. Silver jewelry has become a department store staple. Just check Macy’s, (Judith Jack’s Victorian silver jewelry ‘look’), or check other department stores for popular designer brands. Silver jewelry has become an important showcase profit center.

Take the big TV shopping networks, OVC and HSN, for example. They both have a wonderful eye for combining semi-precious stones, (Malaysian Jade, Lapis Lazuli, Charoite, Blue Lace Agate, the list is endless), with silver. Some stones are even hand carved.

Where did I find all this information, you ask. For almost seven years, I owned a very successful silver jewelry brand. (I sold it a couple of years ago.) I designed and then imported the brand from Hong Kong, India, China, Thailand, Italy, Indonesia, Mexico, Africa and Canada

After all this time, I’ve acquired an understanding of silver jewelry marketing, sourcing, merchandising and pricing.
Dare I say it? I’ve developed a strong bias to silver jewelry.

    Hi Isaiah,

    Thanks for the comment. Please remember that silver jewelry is — generally — less expensive than gold or platninum. And since the metal is cheaper, you can do alot more with silver like using beautiful stones and more creative designs.

    We’ll have more blogs on this shortly. Watch for them.

  18. Silver Jewelry…
    Is this good for engagement ring…??

  19. Jan Brassem says:

    Thanks for the great question. No, the tradition and culture of wedding rings is — and should be — the perview of gold, (or platinum), and diamonds.

    On the other hand, silver jewelry is great for the bridal party.
