Why I Love Selling Sterling Silver Rings

I’ve always been business-minded — I sold handmade macrame decors and personalized mugs in the past, but what I really enjoyed was selling rings, particularly sterling silver. I have a huge collection of my own and wear a different set every day, so I thought, why not turn my passion into a business?

If you’re looking into starting a business this 2021, I suggest you try retail or wholesale sterling silver rings. Why? Here are some reasons why it’s worth considering:

The stylishness

Young women, my target market, love accessorizing their wardrobe pieces for OOTD selfies and TikTok videos. Ladies also have to look good and presentable in virtual job interviews and events. My point is, even if there is a pandemic, people’s fashion sense has not been affected at all.

The emotional attachment

Women are definitely more emotionally invested than men. We wear a particular piece of jewelry because it reminds us of happy experiences from the past or to create new experiences with it. That means they make great gifts for friends and family. Sterling silver rings can also be passed down to the next generation.

The investment

Sterling silver rings can also be a backup financial plan in times of emergency. These pieces can be sold or pawned easily when the need arises. Think of them as a stylish emergency stash.

The self-esteem booster

Are you familiar with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs? Esteem is in a high place in the pyramid. Looking and feeling good raise the level of one’s self-esteem, especially when getting compliments from friends, family, and complete strangers. So when you wear gorgeous rings, you tend to feel good about yourself and more confident.

The best supplier

And, of course, I currently have the best supplier of sterling silver rings — Sidney Imports. This online wholesaler has a massive collection of wholesale jewelry, from sterling silver rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets to toe and nose rings. I believe they sell stainless steel pieces too. Because it’s an online shop, my transactions with them have been fast, easy, and smooth.
