Finding Wholesale Jewelry In The United States

     With the Internet today, it is easy to find wholesale jewelry online and find jewelry suppliers in the United States. However, if you are just launching your business, how do you know if you are getting cheap earrings or true wholesale earrings, as an example?

     If you have a wholesale mart in your area, visit it to find jewelry wholesalers to see the quality. Pictures can be deceiving. Although on my website, www.JoJewelry.com, I receive comments that the jewelry is much prettier than the picture, good thing! If you are buying online, make sure there is an acceptable return policy in case you don't like the jewelry. 

     If you don't have a wholesale mart close by, go to a trade show. Visit this website of jewelry trade shows in the United States.  Please post any comments or email me at jojewel@gmail.com

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 .
