Silpada jewellery is handcrafted from .925 sterling silver. The range of products is vast including bracelets, necklaces, rings and everything imaginable for a chic fashion statement. The company was started by Bonnie Kelly and Teresa Walsh in 1997. The two became friends while volunteering at their children's school. Looking for a new and exciting way to turn their passion into extra money, Kelly and Walsh turned their love of sterling silver jewelry into a multi billion dollar industry. Beginning with $25 each, they began crafting sterling silver into modern and unique pieces. By selling jewelry at home parties their reputation for excellence in craftsmanship grew. The affordability of the pieces plus the unique designs quickly escalated the demand for their jewelry.
Kelly and Walsh named their company Silpada, which to them means "the best of everything." Their mission statement is to empower women in their personal quest for success while being fashionable and feeling their best. Silpada offers women a chance to increase their income while selling quality items in a relaxed atmosphere. From a small idea, Silpada now claims over 15.2 million independent representatives. No previous sales experienced is required. Silpada's distinctive jewelry, like Silpada earrings, sales itself.
Hosting a party is simple and convenient. Silpada recommends an open house style setting. Friends and potential customers are greeted to a variety of jewelry options with no hard core selling. Gift incentives are provided to the hostess and those who choose to host a Silpada party in their home. Independent sales representatives make up to 30% off retail sales in free jewelry plus party booking incentives. Independent representatives report income of up to $570 a week depending on the number and success of the bookings. Silpada's contribution to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation shows their commitment to the community as well as fashion and makes buying their products much easier.
