What is the difference between a silver necklace of dozens and hundreds?
Posted on December 29, 2023
1. Silver content. Generally, silver necklaces are 925, and it is not excluded that the silver content of dozens of dollars is insufficient. Even some of them are other metal alloys all over the body, and the outside is thickly plated with 925 silver, pretending to be 925 silver. There are on the market. And there are a lot of them, and they are not uncommon in street stalls and trinkets.
2. Craft. Generally, the difficulty of the silver jewelry process lies in the surface plating treatment, because silver is a metal that is more active, and it is especially easy to react with other elements, such as sulfur (my liberal arts, science knowledge is equivalent to 0, fortunately, after so many years of experience, I have memorized) oxidation, which will be ugly. In order to maintain the beautiful luster of the surface of silver jewelry and achieve the same multiple surface colors as K gold, and do not oxidize, it will be treated on the surface, generally the plating, the material used for plating, and the amount of material used determine its ex-factory cost and then affect the price of the finished product. For example, with real gold, 5 layers of plating, and with copper plating... The price difference is far away. Of course, not all materials can be plated, and the thicker the plating, the better, the main thing is to grasp the technology. Generally, the price of goods shipped from large factories with good technology will generally be high. There is also the inlay process, special technology, main stone with stone, etc., the price difference is a lot between different processes.
3. Brand premium. In many cases, the price difference for the same product comes from the brand premium. Generally speaking, the price of products with no brand and weak brand power will be lower than that of products with high brand power. Brand goods, basically wearing a face, the price has nothing to do with whether it is a silver necklace or not. Basically, the price of high-end Pandora and APM can exceed hundreds or even thousands. In a general jewelry store, there are dozens to 100 dollars.
4. Design. Why the last one talks about design. Because most of them have no design at all, and most of them are produced in production lines, so there is not much difference in product prices. The styles are basically plagiarism, the same, the popular models are made together, the batches come out, the price is pressed by each other, and the price can't go up. There are also a small number of designers themselves to make promotional products, belonging to designers and custom models, which still have a certain artistic value and design concept, production and promotion are limited to the niche, of course, the price is high.
