How to Find Jewelry Wholesale Sources

If you are in the jewelry business or thinking about
getting into the jewelry business, you need to find
jewelry wholesale sources. Finding these sources
isn’t as difficult as you might think – they areeverywhere, and if you have access to the Internet,
you literally have the world of jewelry wholesale at
your fingertips.

There are many wholesale company directories
available online, but you really don’t have to
purchase these to find the jewelry wholesale
companies. Instead, use the search engine and
type ‘jewelry wholesale companies’ or ‘jewelry
wholesale suppliers’ into the search box. This is
the easiest, and cheapest way to find jewelry
wholesale sources.

Start making a list of sources. You can do this on
notepad or in a spreadsheet. Keep up with which
company has the best prices on certain items,
shipping costs, contact information, and any other
information you may need in the course of doing
business.

Don’t forget the online auctions, and remember that
eBay isn’t the only online auction either! Keep your
eyes open for great deals on jewelry, and make
bulk purchases when you can.

How to Select Jewelry Wholesale


Selecting jewelry isn’t hard, when you can see it and touch it. However when you purchase jewelry wholesale, you often won’t have this opportunitybefore making a purchase, since most of these purchases are made online or through mail order.

This makes the selection process a bit harder. Start by reading all of the information that is supplied. Make sure that words like ‘gold plated’ or ‘faux’ are not used if you are looking for genuine pieces. Contact the company and ask for more information if you are unsure about anything that you are reading as well. Make sure you are gettingwholesale prices. Look for similar pieces at theonline jewelry stores, or even at your local jewelrystores, and compare the prices. The wholesaleprice should be much lower.


Also check the refund and exchange policy of the business you are planning to purchase from. Make sure that there is a ‘no questions asked’ money back guarantee, or the offer of a 100% refund if you are not satisfied. If there is no refund policy, thereshould be no deal! You can find other jewelrywholesale from companies that do offer refunds

Making Jewelry Wholesale - How to Find Birthstones

Many of the jewelry wholesale pieces that you
make will include birthstones, and purchasing
birthstones is not always cheap. Therefore, you will
need to find jewelry wholesale sources for
birthstones that you can afford.

Everyone loves jewelry with their birthstones in it.
This type of jewelry makes perfect birthday gifts, as
well as Christmas gifts. Some birthstones, such
as opals, are quite inexpensive, while others, such
as emeralds, rubies, and diamonds are very
expensive.

One option is to purchase simulated stones. These
stones are not real, and it is important that your
customer be made aware of this. However, some
customers will want the real deal! Again, you need
a source for real birthstones.

The Internet is the perfect place to find birthstones.
There are numerous jewelry wholesale outlets that
do business online. Because there are so many,
prices are usually rock bottom. Make sure that you
make sure any company that you do business with
is legitimate, and that the gems you buy are quality
birthstones!

Also make sure that you know exactly which stone
is required in the piece that you are making. Each
month actually has different gems that represent it,
depending on which tradition you are following.
Verify the exact stone that is wished for with the
client before making a purchase!

Jewelry Wholesale Supplies

No matter what you may need jewelry wholesale supplies for, there are a variety of sources for obtaining them. However, in most cases, you will find the least expensive supplies through online sources. This is due to the fact that you literally have the whole world of jewelry wholesale supply sources at the touch of a button – and those companies are all in competition with each other.
Whether you are looking for stones, crystals,beads, catches, or other supplies and tools, you can find everything you are looking for online – at really great prices. You can order the supplies directly, or request a catalog from hundreds of different suppliers. In many cases, when you place an order, you will be put on the mailing list, and you will automatically receive the catalog periodically without having to ask for it.
You should never pay for the catalog. Avoid sites that ask for payment to receive the catalog, or sites that require you to pay for membership. You can expect, however, to be required to register at the sites that you do business with – at no charge. It is also important to check the refund and exchange policies for each site that you do business with.If you have any doubts as to the legitimacy of an online business, check them out with the BBB online. If there have been any complaints, the BBB will have a record of it, and that information is available to the public at no charge.eBay is another option. You can find a wide variety
of jewelry wholesale supplies through these auctions, but eBay cannot be depended on as a steady supplier. When you do find supplies that you wish to bid on or purchase through eBay, make sure that you check the seller’s rating and feedback before making the bid or purchase!
If shopping online makes you really uncomfortable, there are other ways to find jewelry wholesale supplies. Locate the various companies online, and then call them directly to place your order over the phone, or for instructions for mail orders. You can find the contact information for most companies on the website where it says ‘contact us’ or ‘about us.’ You can also purchase your supplies through discount stores in your area. However, you should be aware that you will not be paying wholesale prices. You will be paying discounted retail prices.Wholesale prices are much cheaper – especially when you make purchases in bulk quantities.
