People will always need to buy jewelry to enhance their lives, increasing their orders, and making the market more sustainable.

How to find suppliers?

Online marketplaces: A lot of manufacturers are based in China. An easy way of finding these suppliers is by looking on websites like Aliexpress and Alibaba. A lot of suppliers list their items for sale on those sites. You can look for jewelry similar to what you hope to sell and then contact those suppliers directly. Just make sure to do your due diligence – check their details, order samples, and maybe even visit the supplier in person.

Dropshippers: Drop shippers can provide you with high-quality service. You only need to give the pictures you want. They will help you contact reliable suppliers, offer you a quotation, and help you directly ship them to your customers.

Keywords in Search Engines： You can enter keywords in the search engine. For example, you can enter “jewelry wholesaler,” “jewelry supplier,” “jewelry manufacturer,” etc., in the search box. Google is considered one of the most significant ways to find jewelry suppliers. But be careful that not all wholesalers are genuine, which requires you to be vigilant. You can judge from the information they provide on the internet.

Sourcing jewelry from China

China is one of the essential jewelry bases in the world. In the past ten years, China’s jewelry industry has achieved steady growth. This makes the market the first and largest jewelry market in the world. You need to identify a competent supplier, negotiate prices, avoid problems, buy your products, make your payments, and import and ship your products.

You can also visit the Chinese jewelry wholesale market. This includes the whole markets in Qingdao, Yiwu, and Guangzhou.

Yiwu is a commodity market, and it’s a central wholesale market for those looking for costume jewelry. Some stores in this wholesale market offer small MOQ if they have stock. But most times, the lowest MOQ you’ll be allowed to buy is likely to be above 100 units, even if they have stock.

Guangzhou’s jewelry market is the dominant market among the three markets. You are more likely to find better jewelry of better quality than in any other city.

However, communicating and negotiating with many suppliers is a big problem. Many suppliers do not speak English, or their English is not very good, which may cause errors in the negotiation content, such as MOQs, prices, shipping terms, etc. At this time, you need an agent to help you communicate. The agent will help you find reliable suppliers, purchase the products you need, and then ship them. The sourcing agent will also help you inspect the goods and refuse to make payments if the supplier, factory, or manufacturer provides terrible quality products or does things that aren’t part of the agreement.
