Over the past year, the cost of sterling silver has increased dramatically due to rising global demand, supply constraints, inflation, and higher mining and refining costs. Silver is traded internationally, and market volatility has pushed raw material prices to levels far above previous years. Because our bracelets are crafted from solid .925 sterling silver, these increases directly affect the cost of production. Rather than reducing weight or quality, we’ve chosen to maintain the same materials and craftsmanship you expect, which means adjusting prices to accurately reflect today’s silver market.
