Wholesale Costume Jewelry Pricing and Costs

Know pricing and discounts when buying cheap wholesale costume jewelry
By Virginia Franco, Freelance Writer Start your search for wholesale costume jewelry to sell at retail by surveying costume jewelry suppliers. These suppliers sell earrings, necklaces, bracelets and a variety of other jewelry products at wholesale prices, allowing you to sell the same items at higher suggested retail prices and retain any profits.

There are dozens of costume jewelry distributors with wide-ranging inventory -- everything from costume gemstones, to rhinestones, to silver and gold pieces. When planning your budget, consider the three factors below that will affect wholesale costume jewelry pricing and costs:

1. Costume jewelry wholesalers typically offer volume discounts that reduce the per-piece price with a minimum buy.

2. Many costume jewelry distributors require a minimum on all orders.

3. Costume jewelry pieces are often sold in sets containing multiple pieces.

Take advantage of volume discounts frequently offered by costume jewelry distributors

Volume discounts can save your business significant amounts of money. The more you buy, the lower your price per piece. Discounts can be up to 25% additional off wholesale. The savings become substantial if your business requires a large inventory of costume jewelry.
Try:  CostumeWholesaleJewelry offers up to 25% off the total price when customers spend more than $5,000. Accessory Wholesale provides an extra 5% discount on orders exceeding $500.

Note the minimum order required to buy cheap wholesale costume jewelry

Most wholesale costume jewelry companies require a minimum order. They usually do not sell to individuals, but only to boutiques or other vendors that offer costume jewelry as part of their inventory.
Try:  Cool Jewels by Phillip International requires a $250 minimum on first-time orders and $200 for repeat customers. Cheap Wholesale Jewelry requires a $100 minimum when purchasing costume jewelry.

Buy from costume jewelry wholesale companies that sell items in sets

Many costume jewelry wholesalers sell their items in sets containing multiple pieces of the same jewelry. Still others offer sets of multiple pieces of jewelry containing earrings, necklaces and even bracelets. Either way, buying sets can save your business money because the per-piece price is reduced.
Try:  CloseoutCostumeJewelry sells 350 pairs of earrings or a 400-piece assortment of rings, necklaces and bracelets for $150. Hannah D has a wide variety of costume jewelry sold in packs of 12 called "dozen packs", starting at $7.50 per pack.

• Some costume jewelry distributors offer membership clubs. A membership of this sort may be worth considering if your business purchases a lot of costume jewelry. Membership benefits include steeper discounts, member-only offers and previews.
