The body jewelry market has exploded in popularity due to the continuing increase in people getting body piercing. Although tattoo shops are often a great source for finding body jewelry as well as getting pierced they tend to be more expensive. This is the reason that starting your own business selling body jewelry can be so lucrative.



As a professional internet marketer of numerous products I tend to use the internet to find wholesale body jewelry suppliers since there is a vast selection to choose from and since there are so many of them they have to be competitive with their pricing. These body adornment accessories come in a wide array of materials as well as many different sizes and colors.

If you put your computer to good use and surf the internet for suppliers you will be able to find a large number of wholesale body jewelry suppliers to choose from. Most of these online merchants will bring in new products monthly and will even send you a free catalogue that shows every item they have for sell if they don't have every item listed on their website. Once you have found several it is time to put on your investigative hat and dig a little deeper.

These online wholesalers will usually have a pricelist available online as well but some of them may require you to register for a secured account with a password so that the general public cannot see the prices of their jewelry.

Some of the things you will want to know up front when you are looking for a wholesaler are prices and at what quantities the price breaks occur, shipping costs, return policies and guarantees. If a product isn't as it was represented then you should have the right to return it for free. If the material a piece of body jewelry is made from is fragile it could get damaged in shipping so you should be able to return the item. Also, don't just go by price, you want to sell quality products. You do not want to get a bad reputation for selling junk.

One material you will want to avoid is silver. Silver contains toxins and it corrodes when it comes in contact with sulfur and other things that are in the human body. You also want to avoid selling plated body jewelry because it will just fade and chip which can also lead to infection in the area of the body that is pierced.

Lastly, you should always remember that even though you are buying the products at wholesale you should never choose price over quality. It will be of no use to you or your customer if it cannot be worn.
