Quality Silver Pieces for Collectors All Around the Globe
Gifts and collectibles made of silver are popular among shoppers because of the expectation that the recipient will treat them with care and treat them as an investment for the rest of their lives. Wedding photo frames, baby shower spoons and brushes, and holiday ornaments are just a few examples of the many ways silver can be used as a keepsake. If you want to sell fine sterling silver products at your retail shop, you need to get your silver from a reliable manufacturer. Since our founding in 1882, JT Inman Company has been widely recognized for our expertise in designing and manufacturing superior silverware. Some of the most widely purchased silver items in North America today include jewelry, boxes, frames, personal items, and silverware. Silver’s popularity lies in part in the fact that it is prized by collectors.
Quality Craftsmanship Sterling Silver
A gift is something nice to give and receive, but it is not the same as a collectible.
One of the three precious metals along with platinum and gold is silver. In addition to its sentimental worth, silver is also a valuable commodity. Traditional baby gifts once included fine sterling silver items that could be resold to cover the costs of the newborn’s medical care, higher education, or other future needs. Newborns are still showered with silverware like spoons, porringers, and brushes, but these gifts are now seen more as keepsakes than as financial investments. A common heirloom is the silver spoon or other baby gift that is passed down from generation to generation.
The JT Inman Company provides numerous silver production options for wholesalers. We provide our customers with the opportunity to design and create their own one-of-a-kind jewelry, corporate and executive gifts, quality silver objects, seasonal holiday ornaments, and more! Thanks to their extensive training and experience, our silversmiths can fashion nearly any design from our inventory of fine sterling silver. If a store wants to attract customers with unique products and build a name for itself, it often pursues custom or white label options. Selecting the best silver gifts and collectibles to showcase in your store will be much simpler if you have a firm grasp on the demographics of your typical customer and a sense of what they will want in terms of gift-giving occasions.
History of Collectible Silver Objects
Silver has been used by many civilizations and countries throughout time. Fine sterling silver goods and jewelry have deep historical roots. There are proverbs about silverware gifts, such as “born with a silver spoon in your mouth,” which refers to the metal’s antibacterial properties and the affluence of the family that gave the child a silver spoon as a baby. The silver sixpence, introduced by King Edward VI in 1551, was also thought to bring good fortune. Christenings and other special events still call for silver sixpences to be given to infants as gifts. There are many cultures around the world where silver is used as a symbol of prosperity and good fortune. Infants in India are often given silver anklets and bracelets as gifts. The Indian culture relies heavily on this metal due to the long-term benefits it provides and its high monetary value.
Silver also has other meanings related to optimism, power, and success. Christian and Jewish holidays aren’t the only times of year when other silver gifts are exchanged.
