For Indian silver jewellery wholesale, the first check is purity: 92.5 silver jewellery in India means sterling silver, which is 92.5 per cent silver by weight, and you should have it tested rather than rely on a stamp. Silver jewellery manufacturers in India are found in Rajkot, Jaipur and several other hubs.
Silver is a different business from imitation jewellery. It is priced by metal weight, and fraud usually involves thin plating, low purity or wrong stamps. 925 sterling silver jewellery in Rajkot explains what the makers offer.
The Rajkot silver market
People searching for the Rajkot silver market usually mean the bazaar area where silver traders, makers and refiners are concentrated. Alongside gold work, Rajkot has long had silver workshops making chains, anklets, bangles and lightweight pieces.
Both makers and traders sell there. Ask whether the person quoting actually makes the goods, using the checks in how to find genuine jewellery manufacturers in Rajkot.
How to check purity
A stamp reading 925 is a claim, not proof. To verify, use one of these routes:
- Have a sample assayed at a recognised lab, which uses methods such as fire assay or XRF screening.
- Check for a hallmark from an accredited centre, if the supplier uses one. Silver purity testing and hallmarking in India explains the process.
- Ask for the weight of each piece and the metal content, then compare with the total shipment weight.
- Be careful with simple acid or magnet tests, which do not distinguish silver plate from sterling reliably.
Sterling versus plated
Silver-coloured pieces are often silver plated on brass or alloy. They look similar at first and tarnish differently. Silver-plated versus sterling silver covers how to tell them apart and how to label them.
If you sell silver jewellery abroad, check marking and labelling rules in your country and keep test records. Your customs broker or trading-standards body can confirm local requirements.
Ordering and payment
Silver orders involve high-value metal, so use staged payments and an agreed test before dispatch. Tie your balance to a passed purity result on the production lot, not just on a sample.
Count and weigh the pieces before packing, because silver goods can be short-shipped quietly. The document pack your broker will ask for lists what to collect.
What about sizes, weights and finish?
Silver pieces are usually sold with a weight stated in grams, so weigh every design on a calibrated scale and put an allowed tolerance in the order. Light variation is normal; large gaps between sample and bulk suggest metal has been removed or replaced.
Finish choices include bright polish, oxidised black silver, rhodium and gold wash. Oxidised silver is often darker than the sample after storage, and uncoated sterling tarnishes naturally. Packing in anti-tarnish bags is standard for silver, and cheap to add. Ask whether stones are real, synthetic or glass, and put that in writing, since the answer affects labelling, testing and the value you declare to customs.
