How to Buy Wholesale Sterling Silver Jewelry from Ruvolla

Buying wholesale sterling silver jewelry from Ruvolla runs through six steps: apply, get approved, browse priced products, build an order, confirm a proforma, then wait for production and shipping. This page walks through each step and what to expect at it, plus a few notes on building a first order that works.

Who can buy wholesale from Ruvolla

Trade accounts are for registered businesses buying for resale: independent jewelry boutiques, retail jewelers, concept stores, distributors, and Etsy or Shopify sellers building a sterling silver line. We sell wholesale only — there's no retail checkout for individual consumers.

Approval is based on being a genuine business buying for resale rather than on order size — a small boutique placing its first order and a distributor placing a large repeat order both go through the same application and approval process.

Step by step: how an order works

1. Apply for a trade account. Fill in the form at trade application with your business details. This is a one-time step to open your account.
2. Get approved. Once your application is reviewed and approved, you're notified and your account is activated.
3. Prices open up. After approval, every product in the catalogue shows its price, SKU, average weight in grams, and available plating options — nothing is hidden behind a "request a quote" form.
4. Build your order. Add the SKUs you want, choosing plating (14K gold, rhodium, or rose gold) and micron thickness per style. The minimum is 5 pieces per style, and your cart shows the minimum order value as you build it.
5. Submit an order request. This sends us your order but doesn't take payment.
6. Receive a proforma invoice. We confirm the order, lead time, and payment terms in writing before anything is produced.
7. Confirm payment. New accounts pay by bank transfer (USD or EUR) or card; established accounts may be offered payment terms.
8. Production and shipping. Once payment is confirmed, your order goes into production — casting, stone setting, plating, quality check, packing — then ships EXW Istanbul or DAP by DHL Express, UPS, FedEx, TNT or Aramex, with international transit typically 3–7 business days to Europe on top of production time.

MOQ and minimum order value

The minimum order quantity is 5 pieces per style — you can combine as many different styles as you like in one order, but each individual SKU needs to reach 5 pieces. There's also a minimum order value shown in your cart once you're building an order, separate from the per-style minimum.

Shipping terms and payment, in short

Orders ship EXW Istanbul or DAP, by DHL Express, UPS, FedEx, TNT or Aramex. Under either term, you're the importer of record and handle import duties and VAT in your own country at rates that depend on the product code and destination — see our shipping page for the full explanation. New accounts pay upfront by bank transfer (USD or EUR) or card; accounts with an ordering history may be offered payment terms on later orders.

Building your first order

A first wholesale order is easier to plan well than to plan big. A few things worth doing before you submit:

• Mix categories rather than betting on one. A first order spread across a couple of bracelet styles, a few pairs of earrings, and a couple of necklace or pendant designs tells you more about what sells in your market than 50 pieces of one design.
• Split plating across styles you're unsure about. If you don't know whether your customers prefer yellow gold, rose gold, or rhodium, put different platings on a few styles rather than committing your whole order to one finish.
• Match micron to price point. Lower price points can use thinner micron (0.10–0.25); pieces you plan to sell at a higher price, or that see more daily wear like rings and bracelets, hold up better at 1.00 micron or above. See our plating and quality guide for the full breakdown.
• Lead with your strongest category if you're not sure where to start. Evil eye designs are our largest motif range — see wholesale evil eye jewelry — and a reasonable starting point if you're building a Turkish silver assortment from scratch.

Frequently asked questions

What's the minimum order quantity?

5 pieces per style. You can mix different styles freely, but each individual SKU needs to reach that minimum. There's also a minimum order value shown in your cart.

Do I pay when I submit my order, or later?

Later. Submitting an order request doesn't take payment — you pay after confirming the proforma invoice, which sets out the order, lead time, and payment terms, and before production starts.

Can I order across multiple categories in one order?

Yes. There's no requirement to order within a single category — combine bracelets, earrings, necklaces, rings, or any other category in one order, as long as each SKU meets the 5-piece minimum.
