Jewelry Wholesale and Estate Sales

Buying jewelry wholesale at estates sales is 

actually quite easy. In fact, in most cases, this is 

the easiest way to get very rare or old pieces at or 

below jewelry wholesale prices! There is, however, 

a method to the madness when it comes to walking 

away with an heirloom piece at a rock bottom price!


Most people have estate sales when a person has 

died. Unless the person was extremely wealthy, an 

appraisal of all of the items that will be sold is not 

done…and in most cases, the people holding the 

sale are heirs that simply want to cash in. They 

have no idea what the real value of what they are 

selling is. Furthermore, these sales are often run 

just like your average garage sale, with items 

marked at incredibly low prices! You can literally 

walk away with thousands of dollars of jewelry for 

just a few dollars.


Even if the jewelry is not that valuable, the pieces 

of the jewelry may be of some use to you when you 

are constructing your own pieces. You can 

carefully take the pieces that you buy at estate 

sales apart, and save the reusable gems, chains, 

settings, and other pieces. You can typically buy 

these pieces far below jewelry wholesale prices!

How to Select Jewelry Wholesale Beads

When purchasing wholesale jewelry beads, you  must use care. You don’t want to end up with beads  that aren’t worth anything to you! Selecting beads  takes a lot of thought – we aren’t talking about  plastic beads that children use to make jewelry. We  are talking about quality beads used to make grown  up jewelry! Avoid cheap plastic beads. This may be suitable for  some pieces, but it isn’t very durable – or very  pretty. Instead, buy glass beads or Lucite beads.  These are not only durable, they are very shiny and  pretty. They do not have the ‘cloudy’ look of plastic  beads.  Inspect the beads for imperfections if possible.  Beads that are ‘lopsided’ won’t do. Beads that are  chipped, broken, or scratched are useless. Don’t  purchase these beads no matter how cheap they  are! Most jewelry wholesale beads are sold in bulk. In  this case, you probably won’t have the opportunity  to inspect the beads, so ask about the exchange  policy. Will you be able to exchange the beads that  are

Importing Jewelry Wholesale

If you are considering importing jewelry wholesale,  you might want to see what your other options are.  When jewelry is imported, there are additional  costs, such as high shipping costs, that you may  not be prepared to pay. There are also other issues  to consider as well. Customs is a major issue, because some materials  that come from endangered animals are outlawed in  the United States – ivory for example. When  importing jewelry, you need to be sure that all of  the materials that make up the jewelry can be  legally imported.  The possibility of not getting what you paid for is  another consideration that you must think about. If  you order from someone outside of the United  States – where the United States has no legal  jurisdiction – there won’t be anything you can do if  you are ripped off. If you are importing jewelry  wholesale, make sure that you are dealing with a  reputable company. Usually, if you can find the same pieces of jewelry  for sale in the United States, at
