Why does silver biker jewelry from Thailand sell for so cheap?
Reputable dealers and designers know that most biker jewelry from Thailand or China is mass-produced junk. However, there are many reputable designers that outsource part or all of their production in Asia. But that’s another story for another occasion. What we are talking about is the mass-produced and generic biker jewelry that plagues the Internet and your local stores. These are designer-inspired products, meaning that the designs are copied from well-known designers and produced cheaply on a large scale to be sold around the world. Just as you would be able to spot a designer-inspired LV handbag, a connoisseur of biker jewelry would be able to spot a designer-inspired Stanley Guess bracelet. Other obvious examples would be designer-inspired Chrome Hearts or Gaboratory jewelry. The designer-inspired pieces don’t have the actual logos stamped on them, or that would make them counterfeits.
