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.
