925 Sterling Silver Zodiac Scorpio Charms

Product Overview

Scorpio is one of twelve signs in this zodiac range, and it is made to the same footprint and the same polish standard as the others, so a stockist can build a full set of signs without any one piece looking like the odd one out. It belongs in our sterling silver findings range, next to the chains, connectors and clasps that finish a zodiac set. Most buyers arrive at this product with a specific gap: they already sell a birth-sign or astrology line and need one more sign, or they are replacing a brass or stainless steel piece that discolours or feels hollow in the hand. Solid silver behaves differently. It holds a white colour instead of wearing through to a grey core, it can be repolished rather than replaced, and it carries the weight that customers associate with the rest of a silver collection. At this size the sign stays readable on a wrist without crowding the charms around it, which is why most orders treat it as one of several wholesale silver charms for bracelets rather than a standalone pendant piece. The same charm works as a necklace drop, an anklet charm or half of an earring pair, so a single line can fill several pages of a catalogue. One practical note before production: check the attachment against the chain or jump ring you plan to use, and approve the finish on a physical sample rather than from a screen, because white metal always photographs cooler than it looks in the hand.

Silver Quality & Skin Safety

Every piece is solid 925 sterling silver, 92.5% silver, rather than a silver-plated brass or zinc core. That shows up at three moments: it takes a deep white polish when new, it wears to a soft grey patina instead of flaking at the edges, and it can be brought back with a cloth rather than sent away for re-plating. It is the reason a zodiac line built on our wholesale sterling silver findings can run through a second and third season without a customer complaint about colour loss. Solid silver carries no nickel risk on its own; the plating is where sensitivity usually enters, which is why a nickel-free plating option is available and why we keep a nickel-free schedule open for markets that require it. Two practical points when you specify the order: name the standard your market tests against so the right plating option gets booked, and check that the finish on your sample is described the same way on the paperwork. Colour and thickness should read identically in both places, or the first inspection will not match the second.

Zodiac Gift-Set Assembly

One sign, one chain and a finding or two is enough to make a boxed set, and that is how most zodiac gifting is sold. Scorpio covers late October into November, so the piece can anchor an autumn gift box without a seasonal redesign, and because its dimensions match every other sign in the range, the same box, insert and card work across the whole collection. A set does not have to stay all plain silver. Placing the polished sign beside a stone-set piece changes the price ladder without changing the theme, and because both are made from the same 925 base they read as one collection on the shelf. At catalogue scale the same logic holds. A cubic zirconia silver jewelry wholesale range can carry the twelve signs as a standing sub-line, using the plain Scorpio as the opening price point and the stone-set pieces above it, and the fixed dimensions mean the set can be re-boxed, re-shot and re-priced each season without re-approving the component. What to hold for assembly: the sign itself, a chain in the length your market sells, a connector or two for layering, and enough boxes to build sets as orders arrive rather than all at once. Sets assembled to order keep capital out of finished goods and let a slow sign sit as a component instead of as dead stock.

Production Scenarios

• Boutique zodiac collections. A studio building a limited astrology drop can hold one polish standard and one size across all twelve signs, so the collection photographs as a family instead of a set of unrelated pieces.
• Volume OEM programmes. On a larger run the fixed footprint and light weight let the charm drop into an assembly sequence that already exists, using the same jump rings and bench tools, without retooling or retraining the bench.
• Digital and marketplace sellers. A component that does not change size between batches keeps listing photographs and measurements accurate, which matters more for a charm sold as a single unit than for one sold in a mixed pack.
• Mixed-material orders. Workshops assembling a cz silver jewelry wholesale order often run plain and stone-set components through the same polish and inspection steps, and a sign with no stones in the way is the quickest piece in the sequence and rarely holds up a batch.
• Seasonal birth-sign gifting. Demand moves around the calendar from sign to sign, so carrying all twelve lets a stockist rebalance a display without placing a fresh order every month.
• Repair and replacement. Keeping a small reserve of the same style reference lets a jeweller swap a lost or damaged charm for a matching piece, which is why many jewelry findings wholesale catalogues are bought as maintenance stock rather than as a one-off range.

Specifications

Polished Surface & Plating Options

• Bare polished silver. Left unplated, 925 silver takes the deepest shine and keeps its honest white colour. It tones to a soft grey over time and comes back with a silver polishing cloth, which suits ranges that sell the metal itself rather than a colour.
• Rhodium for a hard, cool white. Rhodium is the finish to specify when the charm has to sit beside white-metal settings or plated chains without a colour clash, and it adds a harder surface layer over the softer silver beneath.
• Gold and rose gold tones. Warm finishes let the same Scorpio design serve two colour stories on the shelf, so a brand can test a gold-tone zodiac set against a silver one at identical dimensions.
• Matching a stone-set line. Most silver cz jewelry programmes plate the metal rather than leave it bare, and the plating colour is the detail that makes a plain sign and a stone-set piece read as one design family rather than two purchases.
• Thickness from 0.1 to 3 µm. Thin plates of 0.1 to 0.5 µm suit sampling, fashion drops and pieces with a short wear cycle. Around 1 to 1.5 µm is the working range for standard everyday commercial orders, and 2 to 3 µm is for pieces worn daily against the skin or cleaned often.
• Consistent from bath to bath. Every plating run is booked against the order, so wholesale sterling silver findings buyers receive the same bath, the same thickness and the same colour on a repeat order instead of a new shade to re-approve.
• One schedule across the range. The gold and rose gold baths used here are the ones we also run for our cubic zirconia silver jewelry, which is how a set built from plain signs and stone-set pieces stays in tone.
• An e-coat where it applies. Many of our styles can take an additional e-coat for longer wear. Ask whether this charm can be coated on your order and we will confirm before production starts.

Care & Storage

Silver dulls because sulphur in the air reaches the surface, and stock kept in an open tray dulls far faster than stock kept sealed. Store sterling silver findings in airtight bags or closed boxes with an anti-tarnish strip, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity, and leave the bag sealed until the parts go to the bench.

During assembly, plated parts pick up fingerprints and skin oils that can etch in over time. Handle them with clean hands or finger cots and keep them bagged until they are strung. Once a piece is finished, a soft dry cloth is enough for routine cleaning prior to display. Abrasive dips, silver polishing compounds and ultrasonic tanks all cut through a thin plate, so keep those for bare silver only.

A plated charm and a plated piece of silver cz jewelry fail in the same order: humidity first, then abrasive cleaning, then repeated handling. Both belong in the same storage regime and deserve the same wording on a care card.

If you hold wholesale silver charms for bracelets stock between seasons, open the packs once, check for tarnish, re-bag with a fresh anti-tarnish strip and rotate the older stock to the front. A dulled bare-silver charm comes back with a polishing cloth; a plated piece that has worn through needs re-plating, so sell plated stock first.

Ordering & Delivery

• Minimum order. 50 pieces per line, small enough to test a sign before you commit to a full zodiac range.
• Finish and thickness on the order. Give the plating colour and the thickness you want, from 0.1 up to 3 µm, with the quantity; we confirm both back in writing before the run starts.
• What to send with an enquiry. The sign, the quantity, the plating colour, the plating thickness and how you want the parts separated. Add any engraving request and we will confirm whether it is workable on this charm.
• Mixed lines. Orders are quoted line by line, and most jewelry findings wholesale buyers combine several signs and finishes in one shipment; tell us the split and we will confirm how the minimum applies to each.
• Packing. Charms travel in bulk packs suited to a bench rather than a display case. Say if you need them bagged by sign, by finish or by set, and the packing will follow your assembly order.
• Lead time. Production time depends on the plating schedule and the season, so ask your sales contact to confirm the current lead time against your quantity.
• Shipping. We ship worldwide, and your sales contact will confirm the method, the cost and the terms that apply to your destination.
• Components, not finished goods. Everything leaves as wholesale sterling silver findings, loose parts for your own carding, boxing and labelling, so the piece reaches your line without consumer tags attached.
• Ordering alongside a stone-set range. If you also buy a cz silver jewelry wholesale line, put both on one enquiry and we will quote them together so the plating tone matches across the shipment.

Quality Control & Inspection

Every order runs against a signed approval sample, with checks on incoming material, during production and again before packing, worked on a sampling basis so problems are caught at the bench rather than at the port. Buyers who want an independent look before shipment are welcome to appoint their own inspection agency, and we will open the running production and our records to them. Anything outside the agreed specification is reworked or replaced by us. Goods leave with a packing list plus the material and compliance paperwork your market asks for, including nickel and lead-cadmium statements.
