If you could purchase high quality gemstones at wholesale prices, wouldn’t that be a relief? The less headache involved in procuring your precious stones the better, right? No matter what you want to buy, be they diamonds, sapphire, ruby; in all shapes, sizes, colour or clarity, believe it or not, there will be someone, somewhere selling them at a much lower price than you would ever find on the high street. How? Because you can buy them on wholesale…if you know where to look! In this article, I share some simple yet powerful tips to help you buy gemstones on wholesale.

Researching for the stones you want is only part of the fun, you can push the envelope with this as far as is possible, it’s entirely up to you. But without knowing the market value of what you’re looking to purchase, it wouldn’t be so easy to spot a bargain if it smacked you in the face. So, begin by researching! Once you know what’s out there, and before you begin to compare prices from different suppliers, decide on a realistic budget you may want to allocate to the purchase of your precious gemstones. You’ll probably need a little more background on cut stones before you buy, because it is not unusual to find pieces that have been treated to improve colour and clarity, which sadly, doesn’t always translate to improvement in quality and appreciation in intrinsic value. So in essence, you shouldn’t be paying over the odds. Ideally, get to know your supplier. Get some background on them, read up on their reviews (if any) and ask pertinent questions before you make your first purchase. To locate potential wholesalers, you may use online search tools, local directories and even referrals from people in the business. And one more thing, do not limit your search for leads to what’s local to you. Think big! There’s a whole planet full of gemstones out there just waiting to be discovered. If you’re still a novice and a bit apprehensive about dealing with wholesalers from foreign countries, you can always solicit for help from experienced gemstone importers to bridge the gap. The world has incredibly vast mineral resources to offer, and there’s a wide variety of tools and connections to help you procure what may, for now, seem impossible. Make the most of resources available to you and while you’re at it, have fun!

A good supplier can be spotted a mile off if they offer any or all of the following assurances. If, should the need arise, they’d be willing to offer refunds on purchased stones (within reason, no doubt); willing to exchange gemstones should you change your mind about your purchase; offer flexible payment terms – hard to find but not impossible – thereby giving you ample room and space to organize your business – and not to mention, your finances.

In summary: you don’t always have to buy gemstones off the sticker price. A good spot of research and networking can lead you to wholesale suppliers with better deals and far better terms if you took the time and effort to look. Dealing with a foreign supplier need not be arduous if you’d consider soliciting the help of experienced gemstone importers to help bridge the gap. And if you had to decide on whom to do business with, a couple of assurances – which may not seem so obvious to you – can take away the stress of having to deal with a supplier you hardly know much about. If they offer refunds, exchanges, and flexible payment terms (within reason), then they may well be worth considering to partner up with in your quest to buy gemstones at wholesale prices.
