Silver Jewelry Thailand

 

While many jewelry buyers do buy silver jewelry because it is cheaper than gold jewelry, the demand for sterling silver jewelry also includes true lovers of the metal. Thailand is one of the major producers of gem stones and jewelry. It is therefore no surprise that much of the 925 sterling silver jewelry that reaches international markets originates in Thailand. The qualities, designs and price points of sterling silver produced in the country cover a wide range. This actually reflects the type of markets that the jewelry was made for.

 A visit to Bangkok, the major center for Thailand's gem and jewelry industry will provide some interesting facts. If you had to go by volume of silver jewelry sales, much of the purchases and sales are made for jewelry that is sold by the gram. Such sterling silver jewelry includes simple designs, low metal weight and low quality craftsmanship. The gem stones in this type of 925 silver jewelry are generally low grade natural gems or man made synthetic stones. The market catered to by such jewels is basically not too concerned about quality of jewelry or gems. This is a market segment where quality minded Thai jewelry providers like Kaisilver do not enter. Another category of Thail silver jewelry is for wholesale silver jewelry. While gram based silver could also be wholesale, the jewels we refer to here have a slightly better quality as compared to 925 sterling silver jewelry that is sold by weight. These jewels are mass produced and provide no option for customization. However, these are not the type of silver jewels that a serious jewelry lover would be interested in.

If you are truly interested in silver jewelry that is made well and includes good natural gems, you will have to go for the custom jewelry option. A made to order 925 silver ring or other silver jewel need not worry about satisfying mass markets. The jewel is made for a specific person and the jeweler can concentrate on delivering full value and quality. There are numerous advantages when you choose custom made 925 silver jewelry. The design is ofcourse something that you can always select. There might be many cases when you would like to choose specific dimensions for your silver jewels too. For example, a large silver topaz ring that you like might need to have smaller dimensions if, the gemstone you choose for such a ring was a blue sapphire. This is because blue sapphires are many times more expensive as compared to blue topaz. Large rubies, sapphires and emeralds are not only very expensive but also quite hard to find. Your custom silver jewelry can be made by combining features from many jewels. for example, a 925 silver ring could have the band taken from one design and combined with a gemstone mount from another ring.

We have discussed about silver rings but silver jewelry can include more than just rings. If you look at the image below you will see some finely crafter 925 silver jewels. Cufflinks, silver chains, silver pendants and even silver bracelets are something that you can consider. While it is true that many men today buy cheap stainless steel cufflinks, the fact is that if you wanted a modestly priced pair of cuff links made with a precious metal, sterling silver plain or studded cufflinks should interest you. When it comes to silver chain, the benefits are very glaring. If you had to wear a large pendant with a gold chain, the price of the chain would be very expensive. On the other hand, a sterling silver pendant with a 925 silver chain would be much more modestly priced. This even if the pendant and chain had a good design, weight and craftsmanship.

When it comes to men's jewelry there is no doubt that silver is preferred by a large section of buyers. Kaisilver the world's leading custom jewelry provider based in Thailand reveals some interesting case study information. Most of the men who order silver jewelry do it because they like the feel and looks of the metal. A much smaller percentage of men's silver jewelry is purchased just because it is cheaper than gold jewelry. In any case price is an important factor for buyers of all types of merchandise. A good sturdy silver ring or other silver jewel would be very modestly priced as compared to a similar jewel when made in gold. Mens jewelry would be quite large and therefore require a good metal weight to make it long lasting. Economic conditions and gold prices might make mens sterling silver jewelry a good option.

 When you talk about 925 silver jewelry one issue needs to be discussed and tackled, this relates to the tarnishing of silver. Tarnish is the discoloration of silver that occurs over time, it might start as a very slight discoloration (barely visible) and become more pronounced if not cleaned. You should know that tarnish on silver is not something that can be avoided. In many cases, mild tarnish can actually enhance the beauty of the silver jewel. This is when the designs represent jewels that have a classic and antique appearance. The MPN02 silver mens cross pendant shown below is a good example of such a classic jewel. Tarnished silver jewelry can be cleaned with recommended lotions and even polishing fabrics. The truth is that if you take some care to have your silver jewelry polished at the first stages of tarnish, there will be no stubborn tarnish on the jewels.

Having spoken about silver tarnish there is another important aspect to be consider, this relates to plating on silver. Jewelers discovered some interesting ways to take care of silver tarnish. This is done by plating sterling silver jewelry with metals like rhodium, gold or even platinum. Jewelry lovers are informed that these are anti-tarnish treatments. The sad truth is that these platings on silver will come off after a while. And when that does happen, the jewels will appear patch and shabby. We would therefore suggest that unplated silver jewelry is the best option.

Thai Silver Jewelry 

The fact that Thailand is regarded as one of the major sources for silver jewelry has some interesting ramifications.  Silver jewelry factories in Thailand produce 925 silver jewelry for various markets. There is therefore no specific Thai silver jewelry that you will come across. Some production centers like Sukothai and even Chiangmai do have sterling silver jewelry factories that make traditional Thai jewelry.

Most of the silver jewelry that you will come across in Thailand is modern. Kaisilver leads the market when it comes to custom made jewelry but, it's approach to wholesale 925 sterling silver jewelry is a bit different. The company makes only good quality jewelry in gold and silver. So gimmicks like light weight jewels and substandard gems are avoided at all costs. You can therefore not expect to find low quality silver junk jewels that sell by the gram or kilo.

Many sterling silver jewelry lovers are under the impression that, good quality gems, designs and craftsmanship cannot happen with 925 silver jewelry. The fact is that no technical issues cause silver jewelry to be made shabbily. It is the attitude of most jewelers where, silver jewelry orders are either not accepted or treated with scant respect to quality.

You might be interested to know that, silver wedding rings are fast gaining popularity. With the right type of design and gemstone selection, sterling silver wedding rings can be as interesting and attractive as their gold counterparts.

Many jewelry lovers are qutie confused when they come across sterling silver jewelry with price tags that hit a few hundred dollars. They make price comparisons between custom silver jewelry and the more common factory mass produced jewels. The point is when you are looking for a custom sterling silver jewel, the jeweler will need to make that piece just for you. There is no mass production where overheads like design and moulding can be spread. Custom made silver jewelry will invariably have better craftsmanship and metal weight too.

An interesting piece of information relates to the process of polishing sterling silver jewelry. When you clean your silver jewelry you will need to consider the properties of the gems set in the jewel. An emerald silver ring could be custom made without a problem. But when it comes to cleaning your silver emerald gem stone ring you should be aware that, the polishing solution could contains chemicals that affect the emerald gemstone.

While many jewelers do not prefer to produce single piece silver jewelry, it is worth looking for a custom jewelry provider who is willing to do this for you. When it comes to rings with meaning like, cross rings, claddagh rings, ankh rings etc the value of the metal does not increase or decrease the meaning of the jewel. You can therefore set your budget based on your financial position and then select the ring.

It is sometimes believed that the special properties of silver keep poisons and such dangerous elements away. This belief has still remained in certain parts of the world. You will therefore find very consistent demand for jewels like silver carnelian rings, sterling silver ankh pendants and even silver rings with snake designs.

Antiquing for 925 silver jewelry has been practised for many decades. Various methods have been developed to create an antique fisnish on silver. This is what gives the jewelry a very valuable and antique appearance.

A discussion on sterling silver jewelry needs to explain one prominent issue. This relates to the question of what is sterling silver. Silver when 100% pure is quite soft and not sturdy enough to be processed into jewelry. Various alloys are added to pure silver to make it stronger. Depending on the proportion of alloy added to pure silver, the content of pure silver would be reduced. It is conventional to keep at least 92.5% silver the remaining 7.5% being composed of other metals. Silver that meets this stipulated purity is referred to as sterling silver. However it is not uncommon to find silver jewelry in certain countries made with silver that has a purity as low as 50%. Such silver jewelry can ofcourse not be called sterling silver jewellery.
