Sterling Silver
Sterling Silver
We were the first to every produce a Sterling Silver ring of the Sigil of Baphomet and of course, later a Pendant. While a few have attempted to introduce such a piece, none have stuck around. There is a clear reason for this that many people do not seem to understand. These bygone resellers of jewelry were NOT jewelry companies. Not in the sense of a TRUE jewelry company that is.
Our Sterling Silver Sigil of Baphomet rings were designed and manufactured in the U.S. It has been this way since the beginning. Most of us have gotten used to the prices found on platforms where jewelry is questionable. We had taken alot of that fear and worry away by proving our business model's ethics and standards when offering jewelry as our mainstay product line. Today, we still offer a Sigil of Baphomet ring in Sterling Silver and unfortuntely, since the Great Recession of 2008 and now the Covid Pandemic, we have experienced inflation. Inflation across the board and precious metals are highly noticeable. Gold is still almost $2K per gram! Meanwhile, Sterling Silver is selling at prices GOLD used to sell for in the 1990's. Silver has taken a major leap in price over the past 2 decades and specifically took a giant leap when the Great Recession was ending. Things are not going back to normalcy after this pandemic. The pandemic has solidified the fact that inflation is definitely a thing across ALL items for sale.
We are not discouraged by the inflation scare. We have always maintained fair prices and kept our products at the best quality to make up for the cost one is expected to pay for their goods. We have worked with other jewelry companies that have assisted us in bringing jewelry with varying price points in the past. Now that things are beginning to get back to normal with the pandemic settling down, we decided to upgrade our sterling silver Sigil of Baphomet ring to really stay competitive in the detail end of what we offer. These rings are custom, made to order only. Then, we once again took to the age old challenge of finding a way to bring this ring at a more affordable price point.
Everything changed while we were working on the coffin ring project. We are fully aware that coffin rings is not a new concept. They have been around for a few years and they are beginning to catch on in popularity. We decided to work with a jewelry company that was able to produce an option that was stylish, attractive, and competitive on price. Grant it, its not going to be the state of the art of jewelry design but it relatively close. Yes, other sellers have coffin rings and some put lots of attention to detail but that comes at a price too. As we learned our lessons from our own Sigil of Baphomet Silver ring, we knew that such detail and well-crafted beauty comes at a price that many may get turned off by, we needed to do something different. Can we provide a coffin ring as good as the best that is already out there? OF COURSE WE CAN. We learned many valuable lessons on that before, however. When we did the SoB Silver ring, we learned that many want to see this ring be less expensive but still in SILVER .925, RIGHT? Haven't you wanted to see somethin
g like that?
We certainly thought of this many times over. We are based in the U.S. and we have salaries to compensate, with benefits. Its not easy to make a living in the U.S., can we agree on this so far? Hence the current Silver design and its current price tag. Such is life. It is what it is. Quality and Craftsmanship comes at a price when it comes to precious metals. Grant it, there's alternatives out there too. Nothing wrong with that. They look just as good. Some may have less gemstones. Less design, less carvings, less weight, smaller stones, etc. There's reasons why the costs are cheaper when producing something more affordable. When it comes to jewelry, there is literally SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY. We are Xerxes Enterprises push for that on every product offered on our site. We offer a variety depending on your level of comfort. Sometimes, we cannot offer much. That is also something that was lagging with our current silver design for the SoB ring. All that is about to change...HOPEFULLY.
Right now, we are currently working on an upgraded Sterling Silver Sigil of Baphomet ring. The one listed on our site right now, will still be an option and we might offer an updated version too. Perhaps it may even be replaced! If the price is the same, we will replace it. If the price is different, we will make it another option. That's pretty fair, don't you think? Now you will understand why th
ere is a chance for TWO versions of this ring. The cost of doing business in America. This is not politics. This is the real cost of reality and what we must do to pay for the labor, skill, and time it takes for talent to keep this brand going strong. Not other site will offer choices like this. Its just not something that is seen anywhere.
The next thing we are working on, is a still a LESS EXPENSIVE OPTION that what we just mentioned above. If you read this so far, keep reading.
In the process of upgrading the ring, we reached out to jewelry manufacturers outside the U.S. We have began talks with a manufacturer that is willing to work with Xerxes Enterprises to bring an even more affordable option of the Sterling Silver SoB ring. Yes, you heard this right. It will be the most affordable version to-date! We are in the midst of discussing numbers, designing, distribution, costs, and so much more. In short, we are likely to start bringing something like this as early as January 2022.
This is the first time anything like this has ever been achieved by a small jewelry company like ours...er rather a SATANIC ONE, that is. Nobody has the means and contacts the way we do. It helps that I have been an entrepreneur over 23 years now and its not my first rodeo. Of course, NONE OF THIS would be possible without the on-going support of YOU, SATANISTS around the world, literally. Of course, not every client is a Satanist but we definitely thank you the same! Your support keeps elevating our brand. A brand that started in 2013 with a mission to normalize people's views on the occult and allowing people to self express their way of life not just by fashion apparel but also by a piece of jewelry for when you cannot wear a certain style in your profession. Sterling Silver is on the menu in a big way for 2022 and this ring is only the beginning. You can expect more Sterling Silver items in 2022.....AT LAST!
ALCHEMY GOTHIC
You have recently noticed that there's been some Alchemy Gothic introduced to the site. In my next blog, I will go into detail about what is going on with them. Right now, I can say that I have been wanting to add Alchemy Gothic products to the site in as many years ago. There's plenty of story to tell as to why I did not do that at the time. I think you will like that short tale.
Right now, the intention is, if Alchemy Gothic ever had a RETAIL website, THIS SITE will be the GO-TO site for all of your Alchemy Gothic needs. You heard this right, ladies and gentlemen. Let me remind you that in the past, many resellers have stocked Alchemy Gothic but me personally, I have never seen a reseller carry their entire line. My consensus right now is that I will do such a thing. But that can also change. You see, today I had a very good conversation with the representatives at Alchemy Gothic. I dropped my site name and talked a little about OUR site.
While I would love to share more details at this point, I will only say that this is still a developing story. Only time will tell. Xerxes Enterprises has always been eager to do business with other companies. We also want to do the same with ecommerce sellers that are on a smaller scale. I am always open with do projects with them or share my expertise with anyone that is seeking some knowledge on gettting their brands recognized. We feel that we have done quite well for ourselves over the years and it was time we mingled with the big guys.
The conversation we had today could lead to something positive for both of us. SO with that, I will save the rest for the next blog post. Let us know your thoughts on the Sterling Silver projects we got going on. Do you think this is a good step in the right direction?
