Wholesale Diamond Stud Earring.
Q.I'm content to buy retail, and we tend not to spend much time in cities (where there'd be diamond districts), so paying retail isn't that big of a problem. I was guessing that the lack of the hard sell, the suggestion to go with a spinel instead of ruby, and the way they let me pick the stones were all good signs. Have I found a good thing? Am I being seriously "taken"? Thoughts?
A.Webster defines wholesale as: sale in quantities for resale. Ultimately, it comes down to doing comparison shopping (becoming an informed buyer) and not believeing myths about getting it wholesale or for 70 percent off. You also have to factor in how you feel about the person/place you are doing business. Both the leading consumer magazine and a TV network investigation team found that the best buys were usually in small,owner-operated jewelry stores that depend on satisfied, repeat customers who know they are being treated well. I happen to have a bad habit of losing earrings. Even if I could afford real diamond earrings I wouldn't buy them. I have many many pairs of CZ stud earrings (all different sizes), and EVERYONE who sees them thinks that they are REAL. Since I have bench jeweler skills and I'm not snob I made them myself for dirt cheap. 1 pair of 6.50mm round stones (equivalant in size to 1 carat diamonds) set in 14k gold prong settings cost me about $14 wholesale to make!in silver the cost is about a third of that, and they look like they are set in white gold (to the untrained eye).
