However, there exist fraudulent manufacturers who produce fake sterling silver jewelries. The manufacturers pass off these fake jewelries as authentic and sell them to unaware customers using the regular sterling silver jewelry prices in order for manufacturers to turn in profit. In turn, customer would get a sterling jewelry that easily tarnishes and loses its luster after wearing it for only a couple of days. As a potential retailer, the person must be aware of how to determine fake sterling silver jewelries.

First, retailers must purchase from well-known jewelry suppliers to ensure that the products will be authentic and will be sold to the customers with little or no problems. Look for suppliers through the Internet or referrals, and check for reviews from retailers also ordering from them. Avoid wholesale jewelry supplier that sell too cheap for comfort. As the saying goes, “If it's too good to be true, it probably isn't.” Also, retailers could purchase small wholesale parts from different suppliers in order to see which of their products are more appealing for the clients.

Another method to authenticate sterling silver jewelries is to check the sterling mark or symbol that signifies their legitimacy. The number “925,” which is actually the percent of silver contained in a sterling silver (92.5%), serves as the mark for the jewelry usually located near the end of the clasp. If it is not seen there, it may be located in some other portion of the jewelry, so the retailer must check around for it.

Lastly, as an extreme precaution, an acid test could be performed on the wholesale sterling silver jewelry. The chemicals will have an adverse reaction on the jewelry, which will allow retailers to determine whether the batch of jewelries that you have purchased are either fake or not.

Any eBay seller of wholesale sterling silver jewelry who can meet the market qualifications above will find many eager buyers.
