How to Open An Online Jewelry Store With Jewelry Wholesale

Opening your own jewelry store has never been 

easier than it is now. In fact, you can use the 

Internet to open your own online jewelry store and 

never stock a single piece of jewelry! In fact, your 

jewelry store could be open for business in less 

than a day – and the only thing you would need to 

do is market it! This is pretty much an instant 

business.

First, find jewelry wholesale suppliers. If you want a 

truly ‘hands-off’ business, find a wholesaler who will 

drop ship to your customers. This way, you never 

have to handle any of the stock. Here is how it 

works. You get your website set up, with an online 

catalog of all of the jewelry that you offer. You 

market that site to the public. Customers start 

visiting your site, and they place orders. You 

forward those orders to the drop shipper, and the 

drop shipper handles the rest! 

Most wholesalers will require you to pay for the 

merchandise before it is shipped. This shouldn’t be 

a problem because you will require your customers 

to pay for their orders at the time the order is 

placed. Of course, you charge more for the jewelry 

than the wholesaler charges you.

In most cases, you will be allowed to set your own 

prices. Look to see what the wholesaler charges 

you, including shipping, then add 15% to 30% to 

that price. This is what you should charge your 

customers. 

If you aren’t sure how to go about setting up a 

website, you can probably find a wholesaler who 

will provide you with a website. Most of these 

wholesalers charge a fee for the site, and your site 

will usually look like all of their other distributors. 

This should be your last option.

You may consider opening an eBay store. There is 

a fee for this as well, but at least your store will be 

unique. You can also bypass the eBay store and 

simply set up eBay auctions, which are very 

affordable for everyone. Make sure that you set a 

minimum reserve price for the jewelry that you are 

selling so that you don’t lose money, and make 

sure that the buyer pays all shipping costs and 

insurance.

Again, setting up an online jewelry store with 

jewelry wholesale is one of the easiest ways to start 

a business today. You can literally be up and 

running in a few short hours, and making money 

within twenty-four hours of ‘opening your doors!’
