My First Time Importing Sterling Silver Jewelry Part 5

The fifth and final (for now) story about traveling to Mexico under "Stories About My Importing Business".

I had no idea what I was doing. I didn't know the first thing about buying jewelry or knowing if it was real. I took a stone and acid test to make sure the jewelry was indeed sterling or .925 (92.5% silver) and hired the guide from the information center to take me to see sterling silver jewelry.

How Not To Go Broke In Your New Jewelry Business Part 1

I remember a friend had also just started her wholesale jewelry business struggling to make money. Let's say she purchased $250 worth of jewelry and sold it for $500, she would immediately pick up the phone and order $500 worth of jewelry. It would almost burn a hole in her pocket. And what happened to the cost of doing business? She didn't take any of it into account. Within a year, sadly she closed her doors .

My First Time Importing Sterling Silver Jewelry Part 4

This is the fourth in a series about traveling to Mexico under "Stories About My Importing Business"

I just didn’t know if I could sleep with the noise of the traffic and the dogs barking. Since it had no air conditioning, I figured I would have to open the doors to the tiny patio, only big enough for two people to stand, to let air in if it was hot. And there were no screens to keep bugs out.
