    Yesss, as a 15yrs jewelry wholesale vendor, I really do agree with you. Building a long relationship is both important to the wholesaler and the customers, especially to a big jewelry trading company who place an large order.

    hey great video! I'm starting out my own jewelry business with 8 pieces. I was just wondering would you recommend ordering a sample for each piece or is ordering one sample enough ? also when launching how much inventory do you think I should order of each piece? Thank you so much!

    • @L02A14
      @L02A14 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think samples are good so that you can see the quality of the piece and also allows you test wear and tear, for example checking if it’s easily scratched, gold fading and so forth,
      You don’t want to order 25 pc to only find out the quality is terrible, however samples
      Can be expensive when getting from different places since shipping can be around 30 bucks
      I would also recommend starting small at first, to see how the business goes because you don’t want to be stuck with 100s of pieces that aren’t selling I always start with 15 pc of each and bring back whatever was in high demand

    To a green jewelry trading company,they need to find a Jewelry supplier with good quality and high cost performance. Therefore, in order to show our capabilities, we are willing to accept a very low MOQ. After all, we believe our products will make them place a large re-order soon!

    @Makayla Raye can you do a video on dropshipping vs wholesaling jewelry for beginners in this business.

    • @cremationjewelryantina2654
      @cremationjewelryantina2654 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Drop shipping can greatly reduce risks and costs for those who are just starting to do business. However, the shipping cost for a dropshipping is relatively high. If you choose a cheaper shipping method, the shipping time generally takes about 20 days.

    Hello love all your videos can you please tell me what’s the best material fir jewlery that don’t tarnish ?

    • @MaKaylaRaye
      @MaKaylaRaye  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      So solid gold is the only material that won’t tarnish. But a more affordable option that will take longer to show signs of wear is gold filled, it can last about 1-3 years another option that’s more affordable is gold plated which can tarnish quicker without proper care (no getting it wet) but it can last a few months to a year. I hope this helps!
