How to Sell Jewelry Wholesale

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.
