Silver is not a cheaper version of gold

The differences are not small and they change what the store has to do.

The metal is a smaller share of the price. On a gold ornament the metal dominates and the making is a percentage; on a silver piece the workmanship is often most of what the customer is paying for. That means the price does not track a rate the way a gold buyer expects, and a page that leaves this unexplained looks arbitrary.

The ticket size is small, which changes the economics of everything — packing, courier, returns and the amount of hand-holding a single order can justify. And silver is bought as a gift far more often than gold is, by somebody who is not going to wear it.

Write the store for that buyer. Most silver sellers copy a gold store's layout and wonder why it does not convert.

It goes black, and pretending otherwise creates the complaint

Silver tarnishes. It is what silver does, it is not a defect, and a very large share of first-time buyers do not know that.

Sellers who say nothing get the message six weeks later asking why the piece has gone dark. Sellers who say it on the product page get a customer who was expecting it and knows what to do.

Two lines is enough — that it darkens with air and moisture, that it is normal, and how to clean it. Add how the piece is finished, since rhodium-plated and oxidised pieces behave differently from plain polished silver, and an oxidised piece is supposed to look dark.

Care information also belongs in the parcel on a small card. It costs almost nothing and it is the single cheapest way to prevent a return in this category.

Purity, weight and what you are actually selling

Buyers ask three things and a good listing answers all of them before they are asked.

Purity — 92.5 sterling, or a different standard, or silver-plated, which is a completely different product and must be labelled as such rather than implied. Weight, because it is how the trade thinks and because a heavier piece at the same price is a real difference. Dimensions, since a photograph of a pendant tells nobody how big it is.

Put them in as attribute fields on the product rather than in prose. It makes the listing comparable, and in a category with a great deal of loose description, a page that states its numbers reads as the trustworthy one.

Where a piece carries a hallmark, say so and put the details on the invoice. GST-compliant invoicing with the right HSN handling is part of the platform.

What the store does not do — no engraving field

A large share of silver is bought for an occasion, and the request that follows is always the same: can a name or a date go on it.

The platform has no engraving or personalisation field. A customer cannot type a name at checkout, there is no character-limit box attached to a product, and nothing carries that text through to the order for you to work from.

If you offer engraving, the practical route is to take the text in the order notes or on WhatsApp after the order, and to say on the product page exactly how it works — what can be engraved, how many characters, how many extra days, and what it costs. Written down, it converts; left unstated, the customer assumes you do not do it.

The same applies to any made-to-order variation. The store sells a defined product; anything customised is a conversation, and the page's job is to start it clearly.

Small orders, real courier costs

A silver order is often a few hundred rupees and the parcel still has to be packed properly and shipped insured-ish. The maths is tighter than in gold and it is where silver sellers quietly lose money.

Set delivery charges that follow order value, with a free-delivery threshold set at a number that suits your margin rather than a round figure that sounds good. Small unprofitable orders become slightly larger profitable ones, and buyers generally prefer a threshold to a flat fee.

On cash on delivery, be careful. Refusal rates on small-ticket jewellery are meaningful and a returned parcel costs the courier both ways. Partial COD collects a small advance online and removes the order that was never serious. PIN code checks flag addresses with a refusal history before you dispatch.

Frequently bought together is worth using — a chain with a pendant, a pair with a box — because it lifts the basket without any discounting.

The gift buyer needs different things

Somebody buying a silver article for a wedding, a naming ceremony or a festival is not shopping the way a wearer does.

They want to know it will arrive by a date, that it will look presentable when handed over, whether the invoice can be left out, and often what it weighs. Say all of it on the page. Where you can name the delivery date rather than a number of days, do — a gift buyer is counting to an occasion.

Photographs matter more than in most categories because silver is reflective and photographs badly. Shoot in diffused daylight against a neutral background, and include one image with something for scale. A pendant that arrives half the expected size is a return you paid for.

Reviews do the rest. In a category with a lot of loosely described product, thirty honest reviews outrank a smarter-looking site with none.

What it costs

Starter is a one-time ₹4,990 — no monthly fee, no commission on your sales, and the code and database belong to you. Pro and Elite add courier automation, partial COD and server-side tracking, which on jewellery ticket sizes usually pay for themselves quickly.

To start, send photographs in daylight, purity and weight for each piece, dimensions, your finishing type, and your engraving terms if you offer it. We work from Indore over WhatsApp and call.
