Italian Wholesale Silver Jewelry is Coming Into Style
Nowhere on Earth can you find more master craftsmen of jewelry than in Italy; in fact, Italian wholesale silver jewelry is just starting to get 'noticed' by the international community. Every country in the world produces ornamental adornment of some type, but few can hold a candle to Italy's passion and history of jewelry design. Italians invented the art of using jewelry to communicate ones' social status and community affiliation, and they have remained on the forefront of jewelry creation ever since.
While typically Italian jewelry is gold-based, recently, more and more Italian jewelry designers are starting to use silver creations to exemplify their art. Stefani Argento, for example, uses entirely sterling silver for his creative designs. In the precious-stone-jewelry capital of the world, Valenza, sterling is rapidly becoming a common element in many remarkable designers' repertoires. To those who know where to get it, Italian wholesale silver jewelry is becoming quite the commodity.
Every year, Italian jewelry designers consume 500 tons of gold -- but 1,400 tons of pure sterling silver. Over forty thousand people work for the Italian silver working industry. This came about because of a coincidence of the market: very high-quality silver came available in Italy from the East about the same time that a huge demand for silver jewelry reached it from the West. Today, Italy is the center of the European jewelry industry, and Italian wholesale silver jewelry has become a cornerstone of the market.
Today's trend in Italian wholesale silver jewelry is over sizing pieces. While gold jewelry is still classically delicately-wrought, today's silver jewelry is designed to get noticed, with angular and chunky shapes sharing the same piece with soft curves and graceful swoops. Italian wholesale silver jewelry designers are currently experimenting with a huge variety of materials as well, combining sterling with semiprecious materials like mother-of-pearl, pink quartz, agate, and onyx as well as interesting forms of Plexiglass and exotic variants of pearls. There are several 'naturalist' designers combining sterling silver with wood as well.
Whether you're looking for traditional romantic pieces, eclectic and unusual jewelry, or funky geometric and modern 'wearable art', the designers of these pieces, from Guiseppe Zantomio to Monica Traquandi, are taking their craft to new heights. You can find incredible Italian wholesale silver jewelry all over Italy, or in some specialty shops in Paris and New York -- or you can look at an up-and-coming Italian jewelry boutique like Piazza Vecchia.

How do you best price your handmade jewelry for a fast sell and profit?
all handmade by me, materials, price of, and time spent on vary greatly. also, there is transportation and display costs. an example of what i sell is : 16 inch onyx and black agate necklace with a teardrop mother of pearl pendant, 18 inch 3 strand turquoise colored seed beaded necklace with a handmade one of a kind 30mm sterling silver dolphin and hoop pendant. both took about 2.4 hours to make.
Normally, price is associated with quality, especially when it comes to handmade jewelry. You don't want to price your jewelry too low because people will think maybe something's wrong with it. Fast sell and good profit are almost like oxymorons when it comes to jewelry. A lot of time and money goes into making it, so don't underprice your jewelry. Of course, this means it might not sell as fast.
You can calculate both wholesale and retail price. Labor is the amount you want to pay yourself per hour. Depending on your experience it can be anywhere from $15 and up per hour. A common pricing formula is the following.
Wholesale price = (Materials X 2) + (labor X # of hours)
Retail price = wholesale price X 1.50(50% markup)
The markup over the wholesale price can be as high or as low as you want but 50% is pretty common. The display and transportation costs cannot be part of the price since those are business expenses. You have to markup your jewelry to the extent that the price will cover all your expenses plus leave you with a decent profit.
