For most of us, cost can be a deciding factor when choosing which metal to use. Silver is far less expensive to work with than either gold or platinum, and for those who like to experiment with techniques, silver is the obvious choice. There is something intimidating about trying out a new technique on several hundred dollars worth of material. But most metalworkers can afford to waste a few dollars worth of silver. Of course, all precious metals can be reclaimed by sending them to a refiner, so the metal is not really lost, but not everyone can afford to tie up a lot of money in scrap.
On occasion, it is practical to build a prototype in silver, even if the design is intended for gold or platinum. While working with the less expensive material, you can try new techniques or work out the most efficient steps for the process. This can also give you a good idea of how much time the project will take to complete, and therefore what the final price range will be. If you are trying to stay within a certain price point, it helps to know before you begin production if the time allotted is realistic.

Before starting your own jewelry reselling business, make an investment in silver jewelry supplies. This will help make your business seem professional and will help you take better care of your merchandise. Additionally it will allow your customers to view your merchandise and teach them the proper ways to care for their purchases.
What Kind of Supplies Will You Need?
For starters, you need a way to show off all your rings, earrings and gemstones. Choose from velvet trays or jewelry rolls to aptly show off the latest styles of costume jewelry and sterling silver. These items are a one time purchase and will help you get your business off the ground.
Additionally, you may want to consider purchasing other silver jewelry supplies, such as velvet or satin pouches, in order to carry your rings to flea markets and fairs. Or perhaps, you’d like each of your customers to have a pouch in order to keep their jewelry from tarnishing. Be sure to include the cost of the pouch in the price tag on the ring.
