Buying Wholesale Jewelry Online

::11 January 2010 :: admin :: Jewelry 2 Comments

Wholesale jewelry establishes a unique relationship between artist and consumer. It makes it possible for everyone to afford good quality jewelry since it is reasonably priced. Once a design is created and approved, the mold is reused to produce several copies. Wholesale jewelry has a large audience since it can be sold in a variety of ways including online.

This mass-produced jewelry is also quite beneficial for the artist, since their designs reach a larger audience. The artist must first come up with a creative design. Wholesale jewelry is capable of producing some beautiful pieces, using many varieties of materials. Often, people forget that the initial design of a mass produced item does have to have a talented, cleaver artist at the beginning creating the piece. In fact, the very first edition done by the artist of the piece is highly valued and priced. Subsequent orders for the same design will use the same mould and therefore be sold at a lower price.

The craftsmanship of a piece may vary, from good to bad, which is influenced by the market price point. Wholesale 925 silver jewelry, for example, is produced by a mechanized process but it is possible to provide good hand finishing in the final production phase and improve the quality of the jewelry. Since this adds to the price tag, it is therefore avoided in most cases. Wholesale jewelry made with gemstones like aquamarine, tourmaline, ruby and sapphire get to be quite expensive and have a limited market.

In this day and age it is also quite common to try and duplicate pieces that have been made famous by celebrities. Celebrity culture produces people who collect replicas of things such as Jennifer Lopez’s canary yellow diamond ring from her engagement to Ben Affleck. Such a ring would be impossible to afford for the majority of the population. Yet wholesale jewellery makes it possible to live out that fantasy. While the ring is reproduced in less expensive, economical materials, the sentimentality of the piece remains.

The internet and other sources give access to a lot of wholesale jewelry companies that can purchase jewelry at very competitive prices. Though, one should be aware that there is a difference between online jewelry stores and online wholesale companies. Online jewelry stores sell jewelry mostly at retail prices, even though the price may be slightly discounted, so caution should be taken.

When dealing with an online wholesale company, you want to be sure that you are buying the real thing, even if they advertise that their jewelry is ‘authentic’. Beware of words like ‘gold plated’ or ‘realistic’. This is an indication that the jewelry isn’t gold, or that stones are fake. Also, be aware that some wholesalers will only sell in bulk. In these cases, one must choose how much they are willing to purchase. Often the companies have a minimum value. There are other options in purchasing wholesale jewelry. Attending trade shows is one. Also, joining a discount club, or locating some companies in your area through the internet.

Four Reasons to Sell Gold Jewelry

::15 December 2009 :: admin :: Tips 4 Comments

The obvious reason you would sell gold jewelry is to make money, but the reasons you may decide to do so can be more complex than that.  If you aren’t in urgent need of money but have been considering getting rid of some old pieces, now is one of the best times to sell gold jewelry.  The value of gold is higher than it’s been in the last three decades so take some time to decide if this is the right time for you.

There are many practical reasons to sell gold jewelry and a few reasons that are purely emotional.  No one reason is better than another, but if more than one of these apply to you, it’s probably a sign that now’s the right time to sell.

1.  Your jewelry is broken or damaged.  If you have earrings without mates, brooches with broken clasps or chains that are kinked and twisted, you may keep thinking, “Maybe some day I’ll get if fixed.”  Be brutally honest with yourself.  If you haven’t bothered to get it repaired in years, what is the likelihood you’re going to do so now?

You may also be shocked at the cost of jewelry repair these days.  The fine craftsmanship required as well as the relative softness of gold both mean a high price tag on repairing damages.  If you sell gold jewelry that is damaged, you can use the money you make to buy brand new pieces that are in perfect condition.

2.  Your jewelry is out of style.  Most people have very particular taste in jewelry so finding the right buyer for older, dated jewelry can be a difficult task.  It will be a time-consuming, costly task to advertise for a buyer for older pieces of gold jewelry and there’s no way to know if you’ll ever find the right buyer.

Companies who buy scrap gold, however, are always happy to buy from you, and they don’t care about the style or any damage to the jewelry.  They won’t penalize you on the gold price because the jewelry is old-fashioned or just plain unattractive!

3.   You don’t have the time to sell gold jewelry pieces individually.  Everyone hopes that their grandfather’s antique watch or grandmother’s set of gold pins can be sold to a collector or someone who will cherish them.  The reality is that it’s very hard to find the right buyer for estate jewelry, and even if you find someone they probably won’t be interested in everything you have.  By splitting things up and selling only a few pieces, you’re cutting into your own time, and you may still have half the pieces sitting around month’s from now.

If you sell gold jewelry to a buyer who wants the gold for scrap, you can get it sold all at one time for a great price.  At the end of the day, you’ll have cash in hand and no more unwanted jewelry to worry about.

4.  Your gold jewelry has bad memories.  Do you still have that engagement ring from an old boyfriend who dumped you before the wedding or gold necklaces from your ex-husband?  Selling gold jewelry that’s associated with unpleasant moments in your past is very empowering.  You’re getting something of value out of items you would otherwise like to forget about.  Don’t hold on to a lingering memory. Get started on a new life with some cash in your pocket.

There are as many reasons to sell gold jewelry for scrap as there are types of jewelry.  If one of the above reasons seems like a perfect reflection of your own life, now is the time to sell gold jewelry and move on with your life.

Why Is Costume Jewelry Preferred?

::30 November 2009 :: admin :: General 5 Comments

Costume Jewelry, also referred to as ‘fashion jewelry’ or ‘outfit jewelry’ are pieces of jewelry made of cheaper materials. These are non expensive and serve the purpose for a casual gathering.

Costume jewelry, also referred to as ‘fashion jewelry’ or ‘outfit jewelry’ are pieces of jewelry made of cheaper materials like glass, plastic and synthetic stones. They are meant to be worn with specific outfits during Halloween parties or any such occasions. These are non expensive and serve the purpose for a casual gathering. Costume jewelry is mostly flashy and gaudy. Costume jewelry is often used for stage functions where you cannot possibly wear expensive jewelries suited with your costume. The name costume jewelry has been derived from its relation to stage functions.

Costume Jewelry items are preferred for stage shows

Costume jewelry is quite famous because these do not cost much. The most preferred combinations of metals for costume jewelry are gold over silver and silver on brass. Ivory is also a popular choice when it comes to men’s costume jewelry. Even acrylic is sometimes used for making costume jewelry due to its low cost. Some of the most preferred costume jewelry items are chains, pendants, rings, bracelets, earrings and neckpieces. Most of these jewelries are handcrafted and stones like amber, aquamarine, amethyst, garnet, freshwater pearl and opal are used extensively.

If you wish to retain the glittery aspect of the jewelry then you have to take care of it. After using it wipe it with a soft cloth to get rid of the sweat that gets accumulated on it. Sweat can mar the glistening effect of the jewelry. This jewelry normally comes in velvet boxes or pouches. You must keep the jewelry in these containers to preserve them for a longer period of time. Soaking these jewelries in strong solutions is not at all recommended. The color of the stones or the items might get washed away if you dip these inside solutions. These jewelries need to be polished from time to time to maintain their color and glitter. The stones can be replaced if they lose their luster.

The biggest advantage of using the glittery costume jewelry

There is a big advantage of using costume jewelry. Costume jewelry is inexpensive but has variety. Many a times the costume jewelry happens to be an exact replica of the original ones. This gives immense satisfaction to the buyers since these almost look like the original ones.

PMC – jewelry

::11 November 2009 :: admin :: Jewelry 9 Comments

Today I took a beginners PMC course with fantastic tutor Di Osman. I had so much fun and I don’t think I’ve ever been so pleased with something in such a short amount of time.
The best thing about taking a course (as opposed to experimenting at home) is that I gained the confidence (and had the resources in front of me) to try more unusual techniques; for example dipping the finished piece in liver of sulphur to get a marvellous effect (in the top left pieces in the picture)
We found out the effect varies depending on how warm the water you add the sulphur to is. As I used it later on; the water had cooled quite a bit and gave this almost golden effect. If used in warmer water the effect is a bluey purple one.
Who would have thought you could get a chunk of silver by moulding clay, baking it for 3 minutes with a hand held torch and polishing it off!
Finding materials and stamps to get certain effects will be my new quest. In the class we used rubber stamps, pastry cutters, leaves and leather to get fantastic results. Little tubes can be used to cut holes or make patterns like on my star.
PMC is expensive but I made all this with still some left over out of a 30g pack with costs around £30. I’m sure I have enough left for at least another pair of earrings or a pendant. That works out at £6 per set and considering your end result is a chunk of 99.9% silver I think it’s fantastic value for money.
Best of all we all achieved these sort of results just on our first day and there is so much more to learn. We don’t need to invest in lots of equipment, just a small blow torch (very cheap) and some files, cutters (also dead cheap) You can find textures outside such as leaves, pebbles, bark, stone etc…
I would definitely recommend having a go with PMC!

How to Get Started Making Silver and Gold Jewelry for Profit or Fun.

::31 October 2009 :: admin :: Tips 2 Comments

Jewelry making has long been an art form passed on from father to son, all the way back to ancient times; people have adorned themselves in Silver, Gold, and Gemstone Jewelry,

African tribes, the Native American Indian tribes and numerous ethnic tribes have used Bone carved pendants, Animal Ivory, Bird feathers and Seashells, to fashion accessories to use as jewelry.

Today we give our Jewelry titles ,such as Ethnic Jewelry ,Tribal Jewelry ,Antique Jewelry, Fashion Jewelry and so on .In this article we are going to Talk about Designer Hand made jewelry ,How to make it either for fun or for those really keen students how to do it and make money from your hobby .

Right lets get going .You have two options to start with, you can either buy raw silver from your local distributor, or find a Jewelry Manufacture that will supply you with the materials, there is a choice between 925 or 985 in the grade of silver you buy, I prefer to work in Fine silver 985, but you may find this a little difficult to buy. For the purpose of this article we are going to choose the second option and buy our material from a reputable Jewelry Manufacture and we are going to start with making a simple Sterling silver 925 pendant with a Turquoise cabochon Gemstone.

The majority of tools needed can be purchased form a good hardware store and some of the more hard to find items you will be able to get from either a Silver Jewelry Manufacture or Supplier.

Your heat source can be either a gas bottle with extension hose and flame adjusting nozzle or as we use in our workshop a petrol bellows and hose set with adjustable nozzle, its important witch ever set you buy that you can regulate the flame and heat .Next comes the hand tools you will need a small brass hammer, tweezers about 7inches long, small tin snips, brass block 4inches by 4inches and 1inch thick ,rags,2part epoxy, battery acid, fine grade file , a flexible shaft grinder and a ceramic base to heat your silver on ,here is a handy tip a house brick and unglazed roof tile work just great. That should be enough for you to get started.

Step1 is to cut a strip of silver slightly wider then the thickness of the turquoise and long enough to wrap around the diameter of the gemstone, and carefully cut it so as the 2 ends meet tightly around the gemstone.

Step2, take your solder and place a small amount of flux on the two joins, heat the silver strip till red, apply the solder carefully, and it’s joined. If you haven’t done any soldering before try a few practice runs first, you will be able to use that silver later on.

Step3, take your sterling silver band and place it on a flat piece of silver plate, check that the turquoise still fits, then as in step 2 apply flux and solder the band to the plate.

Step4, remove the excess silver with your tin snips and sand off any rough edges.

Step5,decide on a shape for your bail and cut it out of silver accordingly, bend into shape .now solder that to the pendant ,and while hot dip the whole pendant into a small jar of acid ,rinse in a jar of clear water and dry.

Step6, Place your turquoise into you silver and carefully trim away any surplus silver. Once your happy with the fit you can sand the silver again with fine grade emery paper, give a small amount of epoxy to the inside of the pendant and insert the turquoise stone .Now take a spoon and using the back work it around the pendant to give a snug fit with the silver and allow to dry.

Step7, Using your flexi grinder insert a polishing cloth disc, add some silver polish and buff the silver to the required finish.

The principles above are applied to all silver work; no it’s up to the imagination of the jewelry designer and skillfulness of the jewele
