Because of shipping charges gold was the only substance that warranted plundering a continent for. Queen Isabella was so disappointed by her share of the revenue that Chris spent some precious time groveling in her dungeon. By the 16th century, Spanish Conquistadors had discovered and developed silver mines in Mexico, Bolivia, and Peru. These New World mines were so rich in silver that South and Central America became the largest silver-producing areas in the world. Spanish galleons raced across the ocean to keep royalty riding on a wave of prosperity. Other royalty, in England especially, was so envious of Spain's self-sustaining supply of "pieces of eight" that war was declared. Privateers soon discovered that an easy road to knighthood lay in bringing galleons home to Mama. At the same time, buccaneers were labeled "pirates," rogues, knaves and even outlaws because they didn't turn their silver in for a knighthood when they came home. They used up thousands of pounds of silver for such mundane purposes as buying up rum after bringing it home. Silver is even more valuable today than it was when Long John Silver clumped the buccaneer decks to seize his share. Silver dollars and one pound sterling are just copper-clad jokes today but there are so many uses for silver besides the creation of jewelry that production can't possibly keep up with demand any longer. That's good news for anyone who has invested in silver jewelry in the past, and for those buying silver jewelry today. The price of silver is not going to decline any time soon. Back when Kit Carson was a baby, artisans from the Navajo and Hopi tribes took an easy route to showing off their wealth by simply sewing silver dollars into their dresses, vests and other costumes. Then they discovered how easily silver jewelry could be sold to the trading posts. One of the best ways to grab great bargains in silver jewelry is to buy directly from skilled artisans. In Gallup, New Mexico some of the upper-class restaurants provide their guests with added value to their dining pleasure by encouraging silversmiths to show their best wares from table to table. Even world-class artisans like the Burnsides family appear there occasionally. Negotiating the already bargain prices is permitted. If you aren't familiar with silver values you may do better at Tanner's Trading Post. As family fortunes change some items that were made before the very early 1900s are just now being sold there (and other posts like Garcia's) for the first time. Taos (New Mexico) is also world famous for its huge displays of all varieties of Native American jewelry. The one major drawback for Native American silver jewelry is that the market is limited. If you aren't especially into Native American jewelry it would make far more sense to seek out the large importers and manufacturers of jewelry, like Fashion Penny dot com. Companies like this keep their volume high by welcoming wholesalers and distributors. Find those companies that keep their minimum orders low and you, like any other serious buyer, can take advantage of the power-buying strategies usually available only to professionals. The variety is so wide that you can easily specialize in niches that are uniquely you with very little effort. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Vayner is CEO/Founder of FashionPenny.com, a purveyor of fine http://www.fashionpenny.com/silver.html wholesale sterling silver jewelry. --- END ARTICLE --- Get HTML or TEXT Copy-and-Paste Versions Of This Article at: http://thePhantomWriters.com/free_content/db/v/buying-silver-jewelry.shtml#get_code .....................................
