Talking specifically about wholesale gemstone jewelry, many buyers wonder why pink topaz or rose quartz remain very popular. The issue is related to gemstone availability, unlike gold supply which is always available, highly depends buyer/seller demand and price points. Firstly, pink topaz is available in abundance, it’s availability is directly related to that of white topaz. If you are surprised you should know that, plain white topaz is coated with a pink layer (in factories) to produce pink topaz. And this is what wholesale jewelry manufacturers use.

So what about pink sapphires? Why are they not common in wholesale gem stone rings and other jewelry. The reason is that it is not very easy to get hundreds of closely matching pink sapphire gems. Another point is related to the price point of this pink gem. If you can get a 14mm x 10mm oval pink topaz for around 50 U.S$, a similar size in pink sapphire should be priced in the 3,000 U.S$ to 5,000 U.S$ price range! Wholesale gemstone jewelry needs mass markets to consume large volumes of jewelry. If you have this objective in mind, you cannot produce jewelry with high price tags. Lower prices remain one of the main attractions of wholesale jewelry.

Somewhere between pink topaz and pink sapphire is another interesting pink gem stone, this is pink tourmaline. This gem is sturdy and much more affordable as compared to pink sapphire, but the price point will still not make it a viable choice for wholesale jewelry. If you were looking for a 14mm x 10mm oval pink tourmaline, you would firstly need to accept that the stone will have a few visible inclusions. Expect a price point of around 300 U.S$ to 500 U.S$ for the gem. While this is not cheap, it is many times cheaper as compared to pink sapphire.

Much of the cheap wholesale jewelry in silver with pink stones uses, pink quartz or rose quartz. 60% of such quartz is opaque and not very tough to source. You might come across rose quartz with an impressive clarity but, the pink on such stones is too pale.

Encouraged by the thirst for cheap diamond jewelry, wholesale jewelry manufacturers are getting increasingly stingy with gold weight. This is a short term perspective and by the time the buyer realizes this, the jeweler is safe and happy with the purchase!

It is not just gold weight that is compromised in wholesale diamond rings, you can also see the ugly quality of the diamonds in such rings. In contrast to this the affordable diamond ring collection from Kaisilver works within strict parameters for diamond selection. The diamonds in our rings are natural and they all look gorgeous. We give you beauty without requesting you to plunder your wallet. If you look at the diamonds in most wholesale diamond rings, you can see with the naked eye that they are milky and clouded. It might be legally right to claim these low grade junk as diamonds but, in jewelry and gemstone terms we would call them junk.

This entire write up on diamond gold rings is not aimed at justifying extravagant price tags for our diamond rings. The RG183 is NOT EXPENSIVE, and is priced below 1,300 U.S$ in 14k white or yellow gold. The center diamond is a 3mm round and the diamonds on the sides are 2mm rounds. Combine this with the 8 to 10 gram gold weight that is almost 100% more than what a wholesale diamond ring would have, and you will agree that good diamond rings need not be lavishly priced. A glance at the complete report on this Kaisilver diamond ring will be both useful and interesting.

First up, heres a confession: It almost happened to me too. My stirling credentials (Old Asia Hand, 12-year resident of Bangkok, street-wise traveler, journalist cynic) did not prepare me for the slickness of the operation. When I finally caught on to what was actually going on we were (cross my heart) almost killed.

My husband and I decided one fine day a couple of years ago to spend the day being tourists in Bangkok. Since wed lived here so long our out-of-town visitors had tailed off and we hadnt had to escort anyone to the temples and monuments in such a long time. So off we went on a jaunt, just the two of us, to the Grand Palace.

Some distance away from the palace gates we saw a very long queue of Thai people all dressed in black, snaking its way into the palace grounds. Days before an elderly princess, the Kings sister, had passed away. With the Royal Family being so revered here, I realised immediately that this mass of people in black lining up outside had something to do with her death. Then suddenly a very charming and well-spoken Thai gentleman smartly dressed in black materialised.

Oh, what a pity, he said. Wed come on just the wrong day. The Grand Palace was closed to tourists since this was the day that the Thai public were allowed to come and sign their names in a commemorative book. In fact hed just done that himself, he said. Then he whipped out a map (why, oh why did this in itself not ring my alarm bells?) and suggested another Wat nearby that we could go to instead.

The design, metal and metal weight of the cufflinks also need to be considered. While gold cufflinks would obviously be priced much higher than silver cufflinks, you might want to try gold plating on sterling silver cufflinks. In recent years, stainless steel cufflinks have gained popularity and acceptance. It is normal for steel jewelry producers to expect volumes of around 500 to 1,000 pairs when it comes to customized corporate cufflinks. You could even consider ordering some silver cufflinks and a small number of gold cufflinks as corporate gifts. The annual revenue generated by each client might help you decide who gets the gold cufflinks and who gets the silver cuff links.

It is important to choose the right manufacturer for your corporate cufflinks. Also, do not rush for the cheapest deal. Your corporate gift is supposed to enhance the image of your company in the eyes of your clients. It is normal to expect that you get what you pay for. If you had to hunt for cheap cufflinks, they would be low in quality too. This might cause them to break or bend, ruining your corporate image. So if you are on a very tight budget and feel that even silver or steel cufflinks are beyond your budget, then think of some cheaper corporate gift. Avoid compromising heavily on quality, it could backfire. http://www.jewelry.kaijewels.com/man-cuff-link-kj-all.htm
