How to Buy Silver Jewelry Wholesale

Silver jewelry is not only beautiful, it is very much in
style these days. Silver jewelry compliments
anything you wear, and it is usually less expensive
than gold jewelry. There are many sources from
which you can buy silver jewelry 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 jewelry, begin your search online.
There are countless jewelry wholesalers online, and
many of them specialize in silver jewelry. When you
buy your jewelry from jewelry wholesale sources,
you will pay a fraction of the cost that you would
pay at a retailer’s place of business, such as a
jewelry store.

When you purchase silver jewelry wholesale, make
sure that you are purchasing sterling silver jewelry.
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 jewelry tarnishes – whether it is sterling silver
or not. You must clean and polish your silver
jewelry 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 jewelry on a
weekly basis.

Buying silver jewelry wholesale is the best way to
go. Silver is already relatively inexpensive – even at
wholesale prices. When purchasing such jewelry,
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 jewelry will rise
considerably. But as long as you are buying jewelry
wholesale, the price will still be the lowest price you
will find.

Jewelry Wholesale and eBay Auctions

eBay is a great place to find almost any item that
you can imagine. Jewelry wholesale auctions are
quite common on eBay, and in many cases, you
cannot beat the deals that are offered here.
However, there are also many con artists that
operate through eBay, and you have to use caution.

Start by reading all of the fine details about the
jewelry wholesale lots that you are purchasing. If
you still have questions, send those questions to
the seller through eBay’s website. Make sure that
you keep all of your contact with the seller through
the website so that there is documentation.

Check out the person or company that is offering
the jewelry wholesale. Look at their ratings and their
feedback. Has there been any negative feedback?
If so, you may want to reconsider your options and
look into other auctions. If the feedback is all
positive, and the seller’s rating is high, doing
business with them should not be a problem.

Make sure that you are clear about shipment costs
and the shipment time frame, as well as the
payment options offered. Usually, the buyer is
responsible for the shipment costs, and this is
added to the total and paid before the item ships.
In the case of high ticket items, insurance may
be required on the item as well. The seller seldom
pays the shipping costs.

If the jewelry wholesale is a high ticket item, such
as jewelry that is bought in bulk or rare pieces of
expensive jewelry, you should strongly consider
using the escrow service that is recommended by
eBay. If the seller recommends any escrow service
other than the one that eBay recommends, you
might not want to do business with this seller – it
could be a scam.

Beware of sniper’s on eBay! Sniping is against the
rules at eBay, but a large group of people do it
anyway. Sniping is automatic bidding, which is not
against the rules, but the software or service is
instructed to place the highest bid in the last
possible minute of the auction – leaving no time for
anyone else to place a higher bid. Again, this is
against eBay’s rules.

Instead of sniping, place your first bid at the
maximum amount that you are willing to pay for
the jewelry wholesale lot. Each time the bid is
raised, your bid will automatically be raised – until
your limit is reached. This is not sniping, and it is
a perfectly legal way to bid on auctions at eBay.

How to Sell Jewelry 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 jewelry wholesale.
Because people are so very unique, they want
jewelry 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 jewelry 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 jewelry 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 jewelry store,
sell to local jewelry stores, rent booths at local flea
markets and fairs, or advertise your jewelry 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 jewelry 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 jewelry. You need to have
business cards printed, and also have catalogs and
brochures printed as well to market your jewelry
wholesale business.
