This is the age of the internet and when you search for Silver Jewelry Manufacturers on Google, you can see 27,000,000 or more pages in Google search results. Now it became more difficult to find a reliable manufacturer of silver jewelry.
Google cannot filter for genuine manufacturers, so you must use your intelligence to find genuine and trustworthy manufacturers or suppliers of silver jewelry.
Due to the low cost of web design and lower marketing expenses, many fake claims to be a genuine manufacturer on websites, in fact they do not know the ABCs of jewelry making. They do not have any jewelry making experience nor do they have any license, company registration, membership, export certificate or any valuable documents that can prove they are genuine.
In these conditions, it is really difficult to find a reliable and trustworthy silver jewelry manufacturer or wholesale supplier.
Choosing a wholesale silver jewelry manufacturer
The most important first step is to find a reliable manufacturer when starting a silver jewelry business. Since you may be operating your silver jewelry business on the Internet or from a country where distance is the biggest barrier, you are accused of the manufacturer understanding and defending the quality of the production itself. This is also important for a silver jewelry manufacturer to have solid jewelry making experience and understand the ups and downs of silver and gemstone prices.
Tips for Identifying a Genuine Silver Jewelry Manufacturer or Wholesale Supplier:
1 – Through the website
Genuine manufacturers always put photos of their offices and showrooms on their websites. They always have three or four different websites because jewelry making is their main business, not a part-time or trial business, so they spend more money on websites and online marketing.
They never hide their contact address, phone numbers, email, and mobile phone numbers. During business hours they are always ready to talk and support their clients. They clearly mention their commercial terms and conditions and publish their commercial certificates, licenses and recommendations, etc. They clearly mention their annual sale, location, and company overview on their websites.
2 – Through the contact address
- A – Tele postal address on website and google map, you can search company name on google map, for example, “mahima abroad”.
- B – Send an inquiry or formal cover letter without notifying them by mail, and confirm by email whether or not you received it. If they suggest sending it to another address, it means they don’t have any permanent settings so far.
3 – Call a landline
Call your landline (not mobile), genuine jewelry manufacturers always try to give full time to the office or factory. You can try again if you didn’t find them on the landline, but you should at least speak on the landline.
4 – Let them know that you will visit them in the next 2-3 days
Call suddenly and tell them that you are visiting their office or showroom and want to buy some silver jewelry. If they are in doubt, it means that they do not know where and what to show.
5 – Feel free to ask some questions
- Are you a manufacturer? (Ask twice)
- How much is your annual sale?
- Where do you currently export silver jewelry? (Ask twice)
- Do you sell to local suppliers?
- Can you make jewelry if I send you designs?
- How much does it cost to ship 1 kg from your country to mine?
- Do you have an export license?
- Do you have a VAT record?
- And ask all you can. A genuine manufacturer will give you the right answers.
6- Make a trial purchase
Now you have to risk buying few samples.
