Whether you are a fashion diva that just want's to look on top of the fashion world with her chandelier earrings or you are a small business looking for wholesale suppliers buying at the right price is what it's all about. Here's how and where to buy wholesale chandelier earrings.
Shop Online
Start by letting your fingers do the walking and check out the many websites that offer fashion jewelry to the world. Some offer nice low pricing to everyone. Others have different pricing tiers depending on the dollar value of the order, and others only sell to those who posses a valid resellers license.
Online Auction
Online auctions are a great place to get some fabulous deals. Of course like everything else if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. Many online auction sellers carry a good selection of brand name products, but you also need to make sure the products you are buying aren't fake a common occurrence with some not so respectable sellers.
eBay
Of course eBay is also an online auction house but one that deserves mentioning on its own. Here you'll find sellers of all sizes from small to large and you'll even find sellers that do nothing but wholesale their jewelry. The great thing about eBay is their feedback system which allows you to get a feel for the seller and their reputation for quality product, supplying in a timely manner, and their overall customer service.
Distributors
Although most jewelry distributors can be found online not all of them operate this way. There are many overseas distributors that still rely on the catalogue and telephone for providing a review of their product and pricing. Many distributors will offer different discount tiers depending on the size of the order and many also require a minimum order size. Some will also require you to purchase a minimum quantity of one product such as a gross.
Close Outs
Businesses that are going out of business are another great way to save substantially. You can usually find their advertisements in local papers. Discounts can range from 30% to 85%.
Liquidators
If you live in a larger city you should have access to a liquidator or bankruptcy recovery agency that moves goods for companies that have gone into bankruptcy. How the products are sold depends on the company. Some will offer live auction while others will have a store type setup. These guys are definitely worth checking out especially for fine jewelry!
Live Auctions
Attending a live auction is a lot of fun and can be a great way to save some money on your jewelry. Of course the biggest disadvantage is not knowing what an item will actually sell for and limited availability. If you're hoping to pick up a dozen necklaces for your store probably not the place to buy, but if you're looking for that one special piece for your personal collection you should be sure to check out what your local auction house has to offer.
Watch The Pricing
No matter where you decide to buy from don't be fooled by signs that announce huge deep discounts like 75% off and then state the manufacturers suggested retail price. The suggested retail price means nothing. What matters is what the marketplace is charging for the item, so before you jump at the 75% off make sure you do your research to ensure the price truly is good.
Fakes
If you are looking at designer jewelry and you come across a site that's selling it for unbelievably low prices you need to turn on your "fashion fake radar." Let's face it knockoffs are big business and they are everywhere. They are also illegal. But we aren't going to get into the ethics of what's right or wrong.
If you don't mind owning fakes that's up to you but realize the quality is going to be very inferior and in some cases the product might actually pose some hazards.
But what's worse than anything is thinking you have purchased a designer brand at a good price only to discover later you've been fooled. Don't get taken thinking your buying designer jewelry at wholesale.
Look Alike
Now that said there are some great products on the market that resemble designer products. They don't pretend to be designer items, they don't infringe on copyrights, and they just have a similar style and design, and a very affordable price tag. Be sure to check these out. The pricing will feel very wholesale compare to the designer counterparts.
Quality
When you are buying fine jewelry that have gems and diamonds in the settings make sure you know the quality of the stones. A good wholesale price might not be so good if the quality of the product is poor. Also be sure that gold has the gold stamp and sterling the sterling mark. Don't be fooled by gold plate. There's nothing wrong with getting great pricing just as long as the product quality is acceptable.
There are many ways to buy wholesale chandelier earrings and other fashion jewelry. Just let your fingers do the walking and start shopping online right now! You'll be glad you did.
