Where can I buy truly wholesale (not available to the public) loose diamonds for resale?

Question

I'm starting a small jewelry boutique and I am having an almost impossible time trying to a real wholesale diamond cutter to buy my loose diamonds from. Almost all the companies I found on the internet also sell to the public. Their prices are not conducive to reselling for a profit.

Answer 1

If you want to buy directly from the cutters your going to need an 'in'. If you don't know anyone in the field, your going to have to buy from a middle man. What size stones are you looking for? How many? Quality? etc... I do purchase bulk and can get some great deals.

Thanks.

Hi Karen.  Check out a site like http://www.toptenwholesale.com.  Go do a search for jewelry or diamonds and I'm sure you will find a true wholesaler.
