If you have a great sense of style and creativity,
you should consider constructing quality custom
jewellery wholesale for individual clients. If you are
good at it, you will find that you have customers
calling you over and over again to construct special
pieces for them, or as gifts for others.

Making custom jewellery wholesale isn?t hard. Again,
you need a sense of style and creativity ? but the
skills needed to make jewellery are very easy to
learn. The object is to make your pieces unique ?
exclusive. When a client wears custom jewellery
that you designed and constructed, they should
wear it knowing that there is none other like it in
the whole world!

Working with clients is actually the hardest part.
You need to get a picture in your mind that
matches the picture that is in their minds. Never
construct the piece while they are watching ? this
is in effect teaching them how to do it themselves,
and you will probably lose a customer. Never let
them know just how easy it is!

Talk at length with the client. This is the only way
that you can design custom jewellery that matches
their likes, dislikes, and personality. If the piece is
to be a gift for someone else, ask lots of questions
about that person, and if possible, meet them in
person yourself. Remember that uniqueness and
exclusivity are the key to making this type of
business successful ? but great communication
with the clients is vitally important as well.

Many clients will want you to make custom jewellery
wholesale using stones or gems that they already
have. They may even want you to just enhance a
piece that they already have. Before you start doing
this, make sure that you have the skill and
qualifications necessary to do this work. You do
not want to destroy a client?s beloved jewellery! Make
sure that you ask about the history of the piece,
and find out what special meaning that piece holds
for your client as well.

Of course, you will purchase the pieces that you
need to make the custom jewellery from wholesale
resources. Just make sure that you are buying
quality parts ? and look for sources for unique
jewellery making supplies as well ? imported pieces
are great sources for uniqueness. You will have to
quote your client a price before you start, so be
careful here. You don?t want to lose money. Once
you?ve quoted a price, deduct 15% to 30% from it.
Think of the remainder as your ?budget? when
buying supplies to make the custom jewellery
wholesale.

Selecting jewellery isn?t hard, when you can see it
and touch it. However when you purchase jewellery
wholesale, you often won?t have this opportunity
before making a purchase, since most of these
purchases are made online or through mail order.
This makes the selection process a bit harder.

Start by reading all of the information that is
supplied. Make sure that words like ?gold plated? or
?faux? are not used if you are looking for genuine
pieces. Contact the company and ask for more
information if you are unsure about anything that
you are reading as well. Make sure you are getting
wholesale prices. Look for similar pieces at the
online jewellery stores, or even at your local jewellery
stores, and compare the prices. The wholesale
price should be much lower.

Also check the refund and exchange policy of the
business you are planning to purchase from. Make
sure that there is a ?no questions asked? money
back guarantee, or the offer of a 100% refund if you
are not satisfied. If there is no refund policy, there
should be no deal! You can find other jewellery
wholesale from companies that do offer refunds
and exchanges.

So you want to sell your jewellery? Well, selling
jewellery wholesale is a big business, and you
definitely need a catalog of your offerings! Making
a catalog isn?t as difficult as you might think. First,
you have two options: an online catalog or a print
catalog. The choice is yours.

Overall, an online catalog is the least expensive
way to advertise your jewellery wholesale company ?
but with all of the online jewellery stores and online
wholesalers, it may not be the most effective way
to make sales. A print catalog should strongly be
considered for a direct mailing.

If you make your own jewellery, you will need to get
good pictures of the jewellery ? preferably laid on a
velvet setting. Black or blue velvet will bring out the
jewellery the most. You can take these pictures
yourself with a digital camera, or have a
professional take the photographs. It is cheaper to
do it yourself, of course.

Load the pictures up onto your computer, and use
publishing software, such as Microsoft Publisher to
design and layout your catalog. This may take a
little time and patience, but it is much cheaper than
having someone else do it.

Since you will need hundreds, if not thousands of
copies of your catalog, your best bet will be to save
the catalog on a CD and take it to a print shop that
can handle the job. This will cost money ?
especially since the pages need to be glossy and
in color, and the catalog will need to be bound ?
but this expense will be well worth it if you will be
doing a mass direct mailing.

In order to do a mass direct mailing, you simply
find a reputable company who either sells mailing
lists or does the mailing for you. You can actually
request lists of mailing addresses where the person
has expressed an interest in purchasing wholesale
jewellery ? or any other criteria that you set. In most
cases, it is best to have the company handle the
mailing for you. They will get the best rates on the
mailing because they can use the bulk mail rate.

Make sure that you use a reputable printer, and a
reputable direct mail company! This is an investment
in the future of your business, and your jewellery
wholesale catalog needs to be perfect in every way ?
and the mailing needs to go off without a hitch!

Silver jewellery is not only beautiful, it is very much in
style these days. Silver jewellery compliments
anything you wear, and it is usually less expensive
than gold jewellery. There are many sources from
which you can buy silver jewellery wholesale, but the
Internet will offer you the biggest selection possible.
After all ? you will have the whole world at your feet
? or fingertips.

As with any other jewellery, begin your search online.
There are countless jewellery wholesalers online, and
many of them specialize in silver jewellery. When you
buy your jewellery from jewellery wholesale sources,
you will pay a fraction of the cost that you would
pay at a retailer?s place of business, such as a
jewellery store.

When you purchase silver jewellery wholesale, make
sure that you are purchasing sterling silver jewellery.
Sterling silver is almost always marked with the
numbers ?925.? This is the highest quality of silver
that you can buy ? wholesale or retail. Note that
there is no such thing as ?high quality sterling
silver? and ?lower quality sterling silver.? Sterling
silver comes in one quality ? sterling silver. The
weight of the sterling silver used in the piece should
be the determining factor in the cost, unless the
item was hand-made, in which case it will cost
considerably more than similar pieces that were
not hand made.

Silver jewellery tarnishes ? whether it is sterling silver
or not. You must clean and polish your silver
jewellery on a regular basis to help it keep its shine.
There are many different brands of silver polish on
the market that can be used to accomplish this.
You should plan to clean your silver jewellery on a
weekly basis.

Buying silver jewellery wholesale is the best way to
go. Silver is already relatively inexpensive ? even at
wholesale prices. When purchasing such jewellery,
the silver or quality of the silver is not what you
need to concern yourself with ? again, silver is
silver, just make sure it is sterling silver. The
settings and stones that are used in the piece
should be your concern.

You need to insure that the piece is solidly
constructed, and you need to make sure that the
gems used are not simulated gems ? unless that is
what you want. Of course, when real gems are used,
such as diamonds, the cost of the jewellery will rise
considerably. But as long as you are buying jewellery
wholesale, the price will still be the lowest price you
will find.

Making jewellery is not only fun, it is actually very
easy. It just takes a lot of creativity, and a little skill.
In fact, you could easily start your own jewellery
wholesale company by making jewellery yourself.

There are countless books available with
instructions and ideas for jewellery making. There are
also numerous websites where you can learn how
to make your own jewellery and get ideas. In the
beginning, you will probably want to follow a few
instructions or patterns until you get the feel for it ?
but eventually, you should let your creativity shine
through and design your own jewellery.

You can easily purchase all of the supplies that you
need for making your own jewellery wholesale through
wholesale sources online. Buying in bulk will get
you the best prices. You can buy cheap gems, and
high quality gems as well. Everything that you
could possibly need can be located through a
wholesale resource on the Internet!

After you?ve made several unique pieces, you
should show them to friends, family members, and
colleagues. You will be surprised at how many of
these people want you to make pieces for them as
well! Just be sure to charge, and soon enough, you
will have your very own thriving jewellery wholesale
business ? simply because you learned how to
make your own jewellery wholesale.

If you are a creative person, with a great sense of
style and flair, you may be able to start your own
business ? making and selling jewellery wholesale.
Because people are so very unique, they want
jewellery pieces that are unique ? one-of-a-kind
pieces that nobody else in the world owns! This
desire can make you quite a bit of money ?
simply start your very own jewellery wholesale
company.

You can easily order wholesale supplies from
hundreds of companies around the globe online ?
at really low prices. It is important to keep up with
how much each part of each piece of jewellery costs
you, and to get a total cost of each piece, including
any expenses that you had for having supplies
shipped to you. With the total cost figured, you can
easily set your prices by adding 15% to the cost.

You can sell your pieces in a variety of ways. You
can open your own online wholesale jewellery store,
sell to local jewellery stores, rent booths at local flea
markets and fairs, or advertise your jewellery making
skills and take orders for unique pieces. You can
also sell your pieces on consignment at boutiques.

You want to be known for your quality. Always
select the highest quality gems and stones for your
pieces, and make sure that the craftsmanship is
outstanding. Become exclusive, and more people
will want to purchase your pieces ? and never make
any two pieces alike.

However, you can also go the other route and make
hundreds of identical pieces, as they are ordered.
You do this by making one very unique, high quality
piece, and showing it to your local jewellery stores.
Ask them if they would like to order in bulk, then fill
the order.

Another option is to do catalog sales. Make enough
pieces to fill a small catalog, and take pictures of
each piece. Write a description for each piece and
then put together your own catalog using software
and a good printer ? or send the work to a print
shop. You can send these catalogs out to a list
that you obtain from a direct mailing list company.

This type of business does require creativity and
skill, but it also requires the ability to market
yourself and your jewellery. You need to have
business cards printed, and also have catalogs and
brochures printed as well to market your jewellery
wholesale business.

Many people think that if they try to talk to a
jewellery wholesale dealer that they will get better
bargains. In the case of buying in bulk, they are
absolutely right! Most jewellery wholesale dealers
will offer you a lower price if you are buying in
bulk ? but if you are just buying one or two pieces,
it really doesn?t pay for them to offer you prices
below the wholesale price.

Other than getting a good price, you want to make
sure that you are getting quality jewellery. If you can
deal with the jewellery wholesale dealer in person,
you should. But in most situations, this will not be
the case. Instead, contact the dealer by phone
and talk to them. Establish a relationship, and
keep that relationship on good terms at all times.
As time goes by, you may be able to get even
better deals from the wholesaler, and you can
probably work out credit terms as well.

Just remember that your jewellery wholesale dealer
is a human being, and treat them as such. If you
ever find that your dealer isn?t being honest with you,
or is selling low quality jewellery, look for a new
wholesaler.

Buying jewellery wholesale at estates sales is
actually quite easy. In fact, in most cases, this is
the easiest way to get very rare or old pieces at or
below jewellery wholesale prices! There is, however,
a method to the madness when it comes to walking
away with an heirloom piece at a rock bottom price!

Most people have estate sales when a person has
died. Unless the person was extremely wealthy, an
appraisal of all of the items that will be sold is not
done?and in most cases, the people holding the
sale are heirs that simply want to cash in. They
have no idea what the real value of what they are
selling is. Furthermore, these sales are often run
just like your average garage sale, with items
marked at incredibly low prices! You can literally
walk away with thousands of dollars of jewellery for
just a few dollars.

Even if the jewellery is not that valuable, the pieces
of the jewellery may be of some use to you when you
are constructing your own pieces. You can
carefully take the pieces that you buy at estate
sales apart, and save the reusable gems, chains,
settings, and other pieces. You can typically buy
these pieces far below jewellery wholesale prices!

Buying jewellery wholesale online is quite easy, and
most of the time, it is an enjoyable shopping
experience. In fact, many people prefer this method
of buying jewellery wholesale simply because they
find a much wider selection at much lower prices.
However, some of the buying public is still wary of
online businesses. If this sounds like you, there is
really no need for concern. Simply follow a few
simple guidelines to ensure that you have a safe
and satisfactory buying experience.

The first step is to be aware that there are indeed
many con artists operating on the Internet ? and
they will happily take your money with absolutely
no regrets. It is your responsibility to take all of the
proper precautions to guard against this happening.

First, find the jewellery wholesale that you are
interested in buying. Make a note of where you
found it, but do not make a purchase just yet ?
there is still much to be done. Take a look at other
online wholesaler?s sites and online jewellery stores
to see if you can find similar pieces. In most cases,
you can. Look at the price differences. While the
wholesale price should be lower than the retail price,
you should use extreme caution if the price seems
too low. Remember that old adage ?if it sounds too
good to be true, it probably is.?

After you have found the lowest price, read every
detail you can find about the jewellery. Make sure
that it is exactly what you want, in terms of
authenticity. If you are unsure, don?t make the
purchase until you do know for sure. Don?t be afraid
to contact the company directly to ask questions ?
but don?t take their word for it either.

Check with the Better Business Bureau Online, as
well as the BBB in the area where the company is
located. You are checking to see if there have been
any complaints about this business. If there have
been, that information will be made available to you
at no charge? and if there are complaints, you
should avoid doing business with the company.

Next, read the refund and exchange policy, as well
as the terms of service and the privacy policy at the
website. This is all important information ? and if it
isn?t there, you don?t want to do business with this
company. However, just because the information is
there doesn?t necessarily mean that it is a
legitimate operation ? read the information carefully,
and print it out so that you have a record of it.

No matter what you may need jewellery wholesale
supplies for, there are a variety of sources for
obtaining them. However, in most cases, you will
find the least expensive supplies through online
sources. This is due to the fact that you literally
have the whole world of jewellery wholesale supply
sources at the touch of a button ? and those
companies are all in competition with each other.

Whether you are looking for stones, crystals,
beads, catches, or other supplies and tools, you
can find everything you are looking for online ? at
really great prices. You can order the supplies
directly, or request a catalog from hundreds of
different suppliers. In many cases, when you place
an order, you will be put on the mailing list, and
you will automatically receive the catalog
periodically without having to ask for it.

You should never pay for the catalog. Avoid sites
that ask for payment to receive the catalog, or sites
that require you to pay for membership. You can
expect, however, to be required to register at the
sites that you do business with ? at no charge. It
is also important to check the refund and exchange
policies for each site that you do business with.

If you have any doubts as to the legitimacy of an
online business, check them out with the BBB
online. If there have been any complaints, the BBB
will have a record of it, and that information is
available to the public at no charge.

eBay is another option. You can find a wide variety
of jewellery wholesale supplies through these
auctions, but eBay cannot be depended on as a
steady supplier. When you do find supplies that
you wish to bid on or purchase through eBay,
make sure that you check the seller?s rating and
feedback before making the bid or purchase!

If shopping online makes you really uncomfortable,
there are other ways to find jewellery wholesale
supplies. Locate the various companies online, and
then call them directly to place your order over the
phone, or for instructions for mail orders. You can
find the contact information for most companies on
the website where it says ?contact us? or ?about us.?

You can also purchase your supplies through
discount stores in your area. However, you should
be aware that you will not be paying wholesale
prices. You will be paying discounted retail prices.
Wholesale prices are much cheaper ? especially
when you make purchases in bulk quantities.
