I am looking to start my own jewelry store and sell a combination of homemade jewelry and other brands. I want to know who I could contact to setup a wholesale partnership and buy jewelry from?
-
Update - So far this is helpful but where do small mom and pop jewelery stores get their actual gold and diamonds. I don't think that we buy our gold from China but I could be wrong.

Answer:
You can check out online wholesale websites like http://www.aliexpress.com which provide small quantities of all sorts of items. For better prices (and quantities of course), http://www.alibaba.com is your source. The companies are mostly based in china and would save you the trip to Asia. Also, the site is in English and sellers only communicate via (passable) English so communication with them shouldn't pose too much of an issue. Good luck with your endeavor!

You're best bet in sourcing jewelry, high end or costume are tradeshows. Simple google search and you'll be able to narrow down to the ones with the most exhibitors. For costume, you'll eventually end up in China for the Canton Fair. Until you have serious volume and have an eye for what works, a trip to Asia is hard to justify.

If you are in the United States, you can look at jewelry lines of all levels of quality at the JCK show in Las Vegas from May 30-June 2 https://lasvegas.jckonline.com/ . There are also large distributors of all different types of jewelry as well as raw materials in the US.

I would suggest you search first from search engines and see the good jewelry suppliers on the first page, they usually will be reliable ones. And then you can search further about the pinpointed websites that you like to see if they are reputable or not. Usually the good ones will have the most good reviews that you can refer to. For example, this jewelry supplier: http://www.jewelrybund.com/, it is easily to read their reviews and how they supply their current clients and if there are any potential issues. You then can choose to contact the preferred wholesale jewelry store or jewelry supplier to ask questions before placing orders there.
