Silver and multi-material

Jewellery software for silver, and for gold

Silver is not cheaper gold. More pieces, smaller tickets, a different rhythm. LE BIJOUTIER holds both metals in the same catalogue, without forcing one to follow the other's logic.

Two metals, two ways of selling

A silver window is not run like a gold one. The volume is different: where you sell one gold ring in a day, you sell ten silver pieces at far smaller tickets. At that pace, approximate record-keeping does not last a week.

Pricing works differently too. A gold piece is calculated by the gram, at the day's fineness. A silver piece often sells at its own price, where the craft counts as much as the metal. A tool that knows only one of those two logics forces you to cheat with the other.

And most jewellers do both. That is why the catalogue is multi-material: every piece carries its metal and its fineness, and nothing forces you to treat your silver as cheap gold.

What multi-material actually changes

Metal and fineness on the piece

Every item carries its metal, weight, fineness and hallmark. Silver 925 and 18 carat gold live in the same catalogue, each with its own categories and collections.

The gold rate without touching silver

When the gold gram goes up, there is no reason to reopen your silver prices. The filtered update applies the new rate only to the pieces you selected.

Price by piece as well as by weight

A chain sells by its weight, a Berber ring by its price. Both ways of setting a price coexist, without forcing silver through a per-gram formula.

Labels built for volume

Silver means many pieces and small tickets. The barcode label printed from the software, then scanned at the sale, is what makes that pace workable at the counter.

Inventories that separate metals

Counting runs family by family, and gaps come out by metal. Three missing silver bracelets do not drown in a total that mixes everything together.

Buyback, metal by metal

Gold and jewellery buyback is recorded with the customer and their ID document, then feeds your material balances, each metal followed for itself.

The day the gold rate moves

This is the moment multi-material stops being a word and becomes time saved. The rate goes up, you enter the new price per gram, and you choose what it touches: 18 carat gold only, one category, one collection. Your silver pieces keep their prices, because there is no reason for them to move.

Without that filter, only two bad options remain: reopen every card by hand, or apply the rise to the whole shop and correct afterwards whatever should not have moved.

Frequently asked questions about silver and multi-material

Does the software handle silver as well as gold?

Yes, the catalogue is multi-material. Every piece carries its metal, weight and fineness, silver or gold, and stock, inventories and balances follow each metal for itself.

How do I update the gold rate without changing my silver prices?

With the filtered update, on the Premium plan: you enter the new price per gram and choose the pieces it applies to, by metal, by category or by collection. Whatever is not selected does not move.

I mostly work in silver, does this suit me?

Yes. Most of our clients work in gold, some in silver, and many in both. Nothing forces you to enter a gram rate to sell silver pieces at their own price, and barcode labels are exactly what makes the volume workable.

Can I sell by the piece rather than by weight?

Yes, both ways of setting a price coexist in the same catalogue. A chain can sell by its weight and a made piece at its own price, without one imposing its logic on the other.

Do inventories tell silver and gold apart?

Yes. Counting runs by family and gaps come out with the list of missing pieces, metal by metal, rather than in a global total where a shortfall in silver would go unnoticed.
