Looking for reputable online jewelry supply stores
Two questions:
Can anyone comment on the following two online stores in terms of quality
of service?
http://www.inmcrystal.com/
http://www.jewelrysupply.com/
Can anyone recommend any other reputable online jewelry supply stores?
Depends on what you're looking for in terms of jewelry supply. For example,
are you looking for findings, raw metals, pre-finished jewelry for you to
set stones in, jewelry to buy for resale, tools, etc.?
Rio Grande is one of the biggest suppliers (www.riogrande.com) and you can
order online from them -- getting their catalog is a worthwhile step.
Swest, Stuller, and Tripps are also excellent resources, and you can order
online from most of them. Stuller sells only to established members of the
jewelry trade, so you have to get an account from them before you can order
from their site.
Finally, you might want to check out Metalliferous. They are based in NYC
and have their catalogs online. The catalogs may not look all that
impressive, but their materials and prices are excellent.
