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. 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.

Nowadays, there are a lot of scams around which make buying diamond jewelry from online jewelry store almost impossible. However, scams do not always need to be associated with online shopping. As long as you are careful, you will still be able to find bargains and quality diamond jewelry from the Internet.

As you have a wide selection of choices on the Internet, take your time to browse around. Do not purchase the first diamond that you see that interests you. Instead, when you found a piece that you like, look for similar piece that is for sale on other online stores. By doing some comparison shopping, you will be sure to find the best bargains. After you have found a piece that you love with the lowest price, do not purchase the diamond yet. Find out about the sellers credentials and his return, refund and upgrade policies. Also do check whether the seller provides his business address and phone number so that you will be able to call them instead there is any problems with the diamond that you have ordered. Lastly, you should ask for a diamond grading report from an independent laboratory such as GIA and EGL before making the purchase. A good practice is to request the diamond jewelry seller to send the diamond to an escrow service, and you send the money to pay for the diamond to the escrow service. The escrow service will appraise your diamond and sends the diamond back to you and sends the money that you have paid them to the seller. This is the surest way to protect you from any online jewelry scams. However, make sure that you find a reputable escrow service.

Diamond jewelry has been valued and worn throughout most of recorded history, although the art and science of cutting loose diamonds is relatively new - and diamond jewelry has only been available to the general public for the last 150 years or so.

Prior to that, diamond jewelry was worn almost exclusively by royalty. The earliest example of diamonds being placed in a setting dates from the time of the Norman Invasion of England; at that time, one of the Ã�rpád kings of Hungary, possibly Andrew I, had rough-cut diamonds set into a crown for his queen. However, cut diamonds would not be available for another half-millenium. The mid-1500’s were an energetic time; Martin Luther of Germany and Henry VIII of England had broken with the Church of Rome; Ivan IV (the Terrible) expanded Russia to its present-day borders, and Ottoman sultan Suleiman extended the Turkish empire as far west as Vienna. It was during this time of ferment that the first diamond-cutters’ guild was formed in Antwerp, located in present-day Belgium. An industry soon developed for the purpose of appraising loose diamonds, giving birth to the modern diamond jewelry market. Antwerp continues to be the center of the international diamond jewelry trade.
