Our Wholesale Sterling Silver Jewellery

925 Sterling silver is made using a ratio of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals. Pure or fine silver is too soft to create durable jewellery so it is mixed with other metals such as copper to increase its strength.

Yes, our products are all solid 925 sterling silver. Each one of our jewellery pieces is given an additional plating of either 100% silver to give the jewellery extra shine or a plating of 24k Gold, 18k Rose Gold or Rhodium. A 925 stamp is added to nearly all of our products where space permits on the item. If any products weigh less than 7.0 grams, they are not hallmarked.

Yes, our 925 sterling silver jewellery fully conforms to United Kingdom, European, American and International legislation in regards to nickel, lead and heavy metal content. Our products are regularly batch tested to ensure compliance with these laws.

Yes, absolutely! Our silver is ethically sourced and throughout each stage of the manufacturing and production areas. We are fully compliant with yearly REACH and SEDEX reports to ensure the highest levels of staff welfare is met. We are also members of the National Association of Jewellers & the British Jewellery Association.

E-coating is a hypoallergenic clear coating which protects the jewellery from tarnishing. E-coat is made of an organic lacquer and is also known as electro-coating as an electrical current is used to coat the metal surface which ensures a complete even coating every time.

We do not have a showroom or send out samples as all of our jewellery is sent out factory direct so that we can offer you the best price. Instead we offer a no fuss returns policy as we are confident in our quality. Please see our Terms & Conditions for more information. For bulk orders, we can offer an option to obtain a sample before the order is placed. Please contact us directly for more information.

However we now supply jewellery on display cards found within our sets category https://www.intercollection.com/en/collections/collections-sets-jewellery and any items brought from our La Crystale range come with branded display cards.

When the finish is described as Gold or Rose Gold this means that the item is made of solid 925 sterling silver and then plated with 24ct Gold or 18ct Rose Gold. It is not just a colouring.

Regarding the gold plating, we currently offer a 24ct gold color for all gold-plated items. In terms of thickness, all items are produced with flash gold plating and e-coated, except for rings, which are plated with a thickness of 0.25 microns.
