How to Select Jewelry Wholesale Beads
When purchasing wholesale jewelry beads, you must use care. You
don't want to end up with beads that aren't worth anything to
you! Selecting beads takes a lot of thought - we aren't talking
about plastic beads that children use to make jewelry. We are
talking about quality beads used to make grown up jewelry!
Avoid cheap plastic beads. This may be suitable for some pieces,
but it isn't very durable - or very pretty. Instead, buy glass
beads or Lucite beads. These are not only durable, they are very
shiny and pretty. They do not have the 'cloudy' look of plastic
beads.
Inspect the beads for imperfections if possible. Beads that are
'lopsided' won't do. Beads that are chipped, broken, or
scratched are useless. Don't purchase these beads no matter how
cheap they are!
Most jewelry wholesale beads are sold in bulk. In this case, you
probably won't have the opportunity to inspect the beads, so ask
about the exchange policy. Will you be able to exchange the
beads that are less than perfect? Depending on how the beads are
packaged and sold, and the policy of the business selling the
jewelry wholesale beads, this may not be possible.
