Tips on How to Buy Wholesale Jewelry

Buying wholesale jewelry 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 need – at very competitive prices.

There are many sites where you can locate directories of wholesale companies, but this really isn’t necessary. Just use a search engine like Google to find exactly 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.

It is important to be aware that some wholesalers 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 Costco. Here you will find jewelry at low cost 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 genuine 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 really gold, or that stones are fake.

It is important to find out if the company has a refund or exchange policy, as well as a 100% money back guarantee. This is the key, 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.

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!
