Purchase Wholesale

A lot of people wonder how to get the exotic cuts and stones along with the great deals. One way to do this of course is to have your business credentials; sales tax certificate, business license etc., whatever is needed for you to operate a business in your city and state and purchase through wholesale dealers or shows.

Some of the better deals and best vendors are those you can find at the Tucson show; however, many of those same dealers travel around to regional wholesale shows. I often will attend these over any ‘open to the public’ show, since the dealers and product are often much better at the wholesale shows. Check with your favorite vendors to see what shows they attend and make note over the year. This is really the best way to get the best deals on quality, exotic cuts and stones.

Here is a small list of several producers of wholesale shows:

Gem & Lapidary Wholesale Inc.
International Gem & Jewelry Show
Parker Trade Shows

And check the blog Gem Shows for information on gem, jewelry and lapidary shows, information and resource links.
