Sterling Silver vs Stainless Steel Jewelry

Sterling silver (925) is a precious metal with a warmer white tone, but it tarnishes and needs polishing. Stainless steel does not tarnish and is stronger and cheaper.

For wholesale fashion jewelry, stainless steel gives better margins and durability; sterling silver is for buyers who want the "925" premium signal for higher retail prices.

We offer both 925 sterling silver and 316L stainless steel, with third-party material certificates available.
