How Do I Find Trusted Permanent Jewelry Wholesale Suppliers?

The number of options available when you Google "permanent jewelry wholesale suppliers" can be overwhelming. The whole experience can leave you wondering endless amounts of questions.

Do they actually sell 14k gold-filled products? Which ones will deliver quickly? Is their business legitimate? Who can I trust?

These are all valid questions and it is up to us as a wholesale supplier to ease your worries and answer your questions.

Unfortunately, not all suppliers are willing to take the time to understand the needs of their customers. You can use this checklist to vet your prospective permanent jewelry wholesalers: 

1) Must have an account
As wholesalers, we are able to sell to you under certain conditions which include creating an account and providing us with your Business ID or EIN. If a website doesn't require you to create an account, they might not be legitimately selling wholesale.

If you don't create an account with Essbe Jewelry Supply, our prices will be hidden from you. This is also for your protection! Suppose you post a picture of a wholesale order on your Instagram business page saying restock is coming. The customer clicks on the tag and visits the wholesale business website. Without hidden prices, the product markup is now visible to the customer. There are quite a few reasons these prices are hidden, but this is one of them.

2) Think through their prices

Prices that seem too good to be true usually are.

There is a possibility that the product is being sold to you at retail rather than wholesale price if it is listed as more expensive.

Do your research to see what the average going price is for a specific chain or product! Gold-filled and sterling silver prices are based on the gold and silver markets which is why you'll notice that prices fluctuate often on a lot of wholesalers websites.

3) Read the product listings!
Make sure you do your research on the products you're considering. Read the reviews, ask questions, and compare prices. This will ensure that you get the best value for your money. If the product listing says any of the following then look somewhere else for your permanent jewelry needs:

• Gold-filled over sterling silver

• It can’t be exposed to water

• Gold plated

Reminder: Gold-filled jewelry cannot be cast (melted down and created into something new). It can only be produced in sheets or tubes.

4) Join the Facebook group
If you haven't joined a permanent jewelry facebook page yet, you need to! Other business owners are happy to share where they have purchased products from and that they trust. The groups offer tips, advice, share resources and build community. Members often share tips on sourcing high-quality materials, advice on pricing strategies, and insights on the latest trends in the permanent jewelry market.
