How to Buy Jewelry Wholesale
Buying jewelry wholesale is really quite easy. The Internet
gives you access to all of the wholesale jewelry companies you
could ever need to make your selections, so you can buy exactly
what you want or need - at very competitive prices.
There is a difference between online jewelry stores and online
wholesale companies. Online jewelry stores sell jewelry at
retail prices, even though the price may be slightly discounted.
Wholesale companies sell jewelry at wholesale prices - which of
course are cheaper than retail prices.
There are many sites where you can purchase directories of
wholesale companies, but this really isn't necessary. Just use a
search engine like Google to find what you are looking for. If
you are looking for an engagement ring at a wholesale price, for
example, simply type 'engagement ring wholesale' into the search
box - a whole slew of wholesalers who carry engagement rings
will pop up in the search results.
Be aware that some wholesaler's will only sell in bulk. Of
course, if you just want to buy one engagement ring, you do not
want to buy in bulk. But there are many companies that will sell
just one item - you just have to look for them.
If buying online isn't what you are interested in, consider
joining a discount club, such as Sam's. Here you will find
jewelry at deeply discounted retail prices, which is the next
best thing to jewelry wholesale prices - but again, the
wholesale prices will be lower.
When dealing with an online wholesale company, you need to do
several things. First, you want to be sure that you are buying
the real thing. There are many companies out there that will
advertise that their jewelry is 'authentic.' Read the sales copy
very carefully, and educate yourself quickly. For instance,
beware of words like 'gold plated' or 'realistic.' This is an
indication that the jewelry isn't gold, or that stones are fake.
Also find out if the company has a refund or exchange policy, as
well as a 100% money back guarantee. This is important, and it
will protect you if you find that you are not happy with the
pieces you have purchased, or if they are of lesser quality than
you expected.
Also consider using eBay to find jewelry wholesale prices.
Again, use caution. Check the seller's feedback and ratings, and
make sure that you are dealing with a reputable person or
company. If the jewelry is an important piece, use the escrow
service that eBay recommends - even if you have to pay the
escrow fees yourself!
