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!
