Purchasing

  • Will you sell retail to me? Are you open to the public?

No. We are strictly wholesale only.

We choose not to compete with our customers (retail stores), so

please visit your local retail store or gem show.

 

  • What does wholesale mean?

Wholesaling is the selling of goods in large quantities to be retailed

or resold by others. It does not include personal purchases not

intended for resale.

 

  • What do I need in order to buy at the show?

You need a current and correct state-issued resale license and must

fill out an appropriate resale certificate based on the location of

purchase. Since we are selling wholesale, we do not collect tax from

you and this form provides for that exemption from state sales tax. A

Federal EIN number pertains to employment taxes and is meaningless in

this regard.
